Who’s the most underutilized player in Miami football history?

[bacane]

I’ll get **** for this because you’re not allowed to say anything bad about anyone who is revered here, but Hester underutilized himself with his inability to think. He literally couldn’t learn a position. The only thing we could do with him was put him as a returner with only 1 thing to worry about. And it was the same way in the pros, in case anyone wants to disagree with me. Devin is an all-timer, obviously, and I believe with all my heart he deserves to be in Canton. But trying to be nice here, he is not the sharpest tool in the shed to begin with and really didn’t apply himself intellectually here at all.

Huge Hester fan, but very honest assessment. Might be hard for some to accept.

Choc Gray….

Gus Edwards

Half joking, but Brock Berlin when they forced him under center. When he followed up Dorsey and we changed the offense up to suit his style of play, we maybe could've stayed off our slide for a while.

Choc Gray. 4 year Greentree AA. Made an NFL team, and never really got any PT here.

Stayed for all 4 years and was always ready it seemed. Gus transferred, Hester got plenty of opportunities, and some of the other guys mentioned had mental/behavior issues.

Lamar, feels like we got one good year out of him and he was gone.

Geathers is the one that sticks out to me.

Sam Shields
Arthur Brown
Many more that were lost in the Shannon Dawg House!

It might be more "poorly utilized" than under used, but Sam Shields?


Beat me to it lol^

Long Live Eddie Johnson!

But for real, I hope the kid is well.

Geathers

We didn't let Jimmy Graham play until his fifth year, we just buried him on the bench before that...

I feel like rooster was heavily underutilize! Also I feel like we could have been more creative with how we get the ball to Deejay or nowadays a Breshard Smith. Those three guys would have put up numbers with more competent schemes/ coordinator in place[BGCOLOR=initial]. Last but not least Jeff Thomas was a talent that Miami completely failed. Everyone is gonna bring up his "attitude" but who the **** wouldn't be ****ed off with the offensive ineptitude he dealt with here .[/BGCOLOR]

Gus Edwards

Softest big man I ever seen at the goal line.

I have been saying for years that Hester is the modern day Forrest Gump. Just give him the ball and let him do his thing. Nothing else worked.

Utilized may be the wrong term if we’re talking playing time but Stephen Morris could’ve been a really, really good college QB with the right OC and staff
