Moderators Blake Munroe Posted March 12 Moderators Posted March 12 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. 3 Quote
Texas fan in Georgia Posted March 12 Posted March 12 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. 1 Quote

Jordan Shipley comes to mind as well. Too slow and lack separation ability. Not surprised he didn’t have a great career. Jordan Shipley injuries prevented his NFL career 1 Quote
Moderators Blake Munroe Posted March 13 Author Moderators Posted March 13 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. 4 Quote

He carved out a nice role for himself in Baltimore and although he was recently cut by Jaguars, think he did better than many thought he would. Just my opinion. 2 Quote
GQ03 Posted March 13 Posted March 13 VY and then depending on how you look at it, the Shipley brothers. With their quickness and precise route-running abilities I was surprised one didn't become the next Wes Welker or the first Cooper Kupp. 2 Quote
Bunk Moreland Posted March 13 Posted March 13 VY was about 5-10 years ahead of his time in the NFL. It’s remarkable to think about how good he could have been in the right system in today’s game. 8 Quote

On the other hand, I totally missed the boat on Omenihu. I didn't think he would last in the league, yet there he is still. I'm happy for him. I just didn't see it. 1 1 Quote
