Which Texas player did you think would have a great NFL career but ultimately didn’t?

[Blake Munroe]

Which former Longhorn were you 100% certain would have a phenomenal career in the pros, but ended up far from that? 

Curious to see y’all’s answers.

Haven’t heard much from Collin Johnson. Thought for sure he would be a freak with his frame. Jordan Shipley comes to mind as well.

This is the one that surprised me.   A classic example of getting drafted by the wrong team with the wrong coach.  Fisher is pure sh*t.

Too slow and lack separation ability. Not surprised he didn’t have a great career. Jordan Shipley injuries prevented his NFL career

Some really good answers in this thread. 

I thought there would be a lot of VY talk. That’s a mixture of bad luck, bad coaching, immaturity and whatever else.
