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

Achieved more than expected I would say Quandre Diggs and Adrian Phillips.  Great college players, but I wasn’t sure with measurables they would make it in the league.

I'd throw PJ Locke in that category as well!

Nathan Vasher is one that’s like a could have been for me. If he didn’t deal with those injuries in the league he could’ve been a borderline HOF level player.

In today's game, that is totally back up bread. Starters are getting 20M+ minimum

Do you truly believe that front office is going to let him play through his mistakes, like Josh Allen got to... or does signing a young QB, who was drafted highly, signal that they will move on to something more "traditional" sooner, rather than later? 

I'm thinking you wanna push the kid... not have someone beat him out, or be somebody the fan base will readily be looking for to get some clock. They knew when they drafted him he'd only started 10 games. They also put him out there too quick instead of letting Sam rock. Just my opinions...

Wasn’t developed? He was a second team all american, big 12 co-defensive, freshman of the year and two time all big 12 team so “not developed” is very debatable. 

When he made it to the NFL, he couldn't do one thing well. The Cowboys took a flyer on him, and I had family, by marriage, in the building. They watched him all camp. 🤷🏿‍♂️. It was the argument for many players from our program at the time. Either they played out of position at Texas, relative to what the NFL needed from them, or they just weren't NFL ready. Jackson Jeffcoat was another guy... got accolades in college, but the NFL is different. That's why it's amazing what Sark is doing, and has done, since being here. Pretty decent success rate on the talent going to the NFL and being productive in the short time he's been here.. but if you loom at his recruits throughout his coaching career..... lot more success than failures.
