    Great college players who sucked in the pros

    Reading about Billy Owens in another thread prompted me to post this. Let's get a list of great college players who sucked in the pros. Football, basketball, whatever. Here's my list off the top of my head:

    Billy Owens, Syracuse
    Tim Couch, Kentucky
    Almost all Duke basketball players
    I'm close to putting Pat Burrell on this list

              LOL, I forgot about him.

              I remember the O'Bannon brothers at UCLA ten years ago, didn't do shit in the pros if they even made it. Also anyone remember Felipe Lopez of St. John's or Cuonzo Martin of Purdue?

                      Rick Mirer and Brian Bosworth instantly come to mind. Seahawks could have built their stadium with the money wasted on those two.

                      And pretty much any WSU quarterback except Bledsoe has been worthless in the NFL.

                                      Sean Respert comes to mind.

                                          Tough to say that about a Super Bowl MVP. He may have been an average NFLer but to say he "sucked" is strong.

                                              Didn't that guy pass away?

                                                  Akili Smith - bitched about Couch going before him.
                                                  Cade McNown - Why the Bears have Grossman now.
                                                  Andre Ware - Back in the day, we were excited.

                                                  Olowakandi .... (Dare was a good one DLR7884).

                                                      For winning the Heisman ... and the #4 overall, he became a solid kick returner. Not even sure if he was the MVP of that game, although he did win it.

                                                          David Rivers from Notre Dame in the 80's.

                                                          Was drafted by the Lakers, but never amounted to anything.
