Biggest highly anticpated collage athlete that failed in the pros

Let me see i guess Matt Lehinart was kinda dissopointing in the NFL Eddie griffin in the NBA and Robert Traylor in the NBA who else was a dissopointment oh and i just saw on ESPN.com that the trail blazers had the #2 pick in 1984 draft guess how was in that draft that they could have picked MJ, Chrles Barkely, and  John Stockton any why they took a bust called Sam Bowie

Ryan Leaf, Ron Daynenygiants1080

 Tim Couch, Charles Rogers, Joey Harrington

Ryan Leaf, Ron Dayne, Rashaan Salaam, Joey Harrington, Mike Williams to name a few.

how can you say leinhart has "failed in the pros", according to your title? you act like his career is over. he actually played quite well last season and seems like he'll have a good career. 

RYAN LEAF!!!

It's been almost 10 years but we can still feel the burn here in San Diego!

Wow, I completely forgot busts the Bears drafted like Enis, Rashaan Salaam, and Cade McNown.

Harold Minor aka "Baby" Jordan....

Yeah right, lol!!!!

I am not sure if he was a college athlete, but that was who I thought of being a big bust for the NBA.

Christian Laettner of Duke fame or any player taken number one in the MLB draft.MahlerFreak

Ken Griffey Jr., A-Rod, Chipper Jones, and Joe Mauer have done well for themselves. 

For me: EJ Henderson(hasnt failed but isnt living up to expectations), Mike Williams(even though it is still early), Omar Jacobs(where is he anyway?)Joelo8112002

Omar Jacobs wasn't highly anticipated at all. 

Ryan Leaf NFL

Harold Miner NBA

curtis enisxbox360isgr8t

Todd Maranivich, Ryan Leaf, Akili Smith, Eric Crouch just to name a few in the NFL.

Shawn Bradley NBA.

Ryan Leaf, everybody said he would be better than Peyton Manning.
lets see Manning
2 time league mvp
i think like 7 pro bowls
Superbowl ring
Superbowl mvp
touchdown record
qb rating record
i bunch of other stuff.
really good commercials
100 million contract

i guess leaf did ok to.

I actually wasn't a football fan back when Ryan Leaf played so I can't say him. For me it's guys like Tim Couch.

NHL Alexander Daigle.

He set Ottawa back like 10 years.

ryan leaf definately, along with tim couch, and akili smith (or however you spell it)  andre ware was a pretty big bust as well, so was joey harrington, mike williams, and charles rogers.

Saying Matt Leinart (try looking him up and spelling his name right) is a bust already just ruined your credibility.

Think Ryan Leaf. 

NHL Alexander Daigle.

He set Ottawa back like 10 years.

Ottawa has been going to the playoffs for around 8 straight years so no.

Ditka traded New Orleans whole Draft for that guy....

Yes that was quite terrible, but Ricky Williams played well in New Orleans (he was on the team when they got their first playoff win).  Also, the Saints got some of their picks back when they traded him to Miami.

i agree!  Matt Leinart hasn't had a chance to prove himself yet.  I think he'll be just fine.
