Official Greatest Greentree All American Who Fizzled

[Mario Hurricanes]

Willie Williams, sad he couldn't get his head on straight.

Yeah I agree! Willie Williams was the biggest shock to me.

Willie Williams, sad he couldn't get his head on straight.

Was his Greentree hype as strong as his recruiting hype? It was like once he signed he lost his super powers

 

[TakeitinDiaz]

Wow no mentions of Mark Pope and
DJ Ivey yet??!!!!!!

To be fair, Ivey has had an nfl journeyman career, still on bengals roster

 

[Ispyin]

I think some of you are conflating actual green tree all Americans versus people that this website assumed would be not just Greentree, but actual all Americans without ever doing anything on the field at all just because of what school they came from or what recruiting rank they had

Willy motherfückin Williams

Good Lawd I thought he was LT reincarnated.

How would i know I was correct, but for all the wrong reasons.

 

[Jonnyblaze]

Let's not forget Brian Monroe.........at WR.

 

[valid]

Definitely Kyle Wright and its not even close

 

[dookie blaylock]

Well, to also be fair, I’ve never seen a big back that couldn’t fall forward as much as Gus Edwards

“looks like tarzan, plays like jane” when he was with us. then immediately runs behind his pads as soon as he leaves and makes a decent nfl career for himself. **** is mind-boggling.

Kendall Thompkins

Every. ******. Spring.

Ray Ray Joseph was the same thing.

This one. The stories I heard about thompkins is legendary. I always wondered why he never got playing time over collier

 

[Jankovich]

Richard Gordon - The supossed freak.

They actually had him returning Kickoffs at that size lol.

 

[Carolinacane83]

Wesley Carroll

 

[Gables Canes]

Anthony Reddick. I remember at the time, many were hyping him up to be the next big time Canes safety.

Another bum to don number 26 and end up being trash. Gurvan Hall was the worst to wear 26.

 

[Play_Boi_Bobby]

Lorenzo Lingard and Trevontae Citizen

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Lorenzo Lingard and Trevontae Citizen

Citizen had that knee injury so I'll give him a pass. Lingard was just a straight up bum.

 

[AlexCane]

I don’t think some of you understood OP. This isn’t a pure bust thread but rather who got hype from practice and never delivered.

Does Seantrel Henderson fit the bill? He never had the career either in college or the NFL befitting (from what I can recall) the number 1 lineman in the country.

 

[Ironmanfootball]

Wesley Carroll

2 rings, a 2nd team All-American and a 2nd round pick... ?

 

[Ironmanfootball]

Lingard was just a straight up bum.

So was Howard
