A player from a college conference that hardly plays any D at all didn't translate to the NFL. I'm shocked.

yeah lets act like Carroll's USC teams didn't produce any successful NFL defenders. Give me a break.

Worked pretty well with Nate Chandler and Sione Fua.

Those guys wern't nearly as gifted as the guys We were speaking on. Those guys were those he's a good guy and just has heart so were going to give them a shot players.

Researching a player before you assume they are just athletes might be a shock to you. 

 His draft profile explains it all and sums it up well. Athlete but questionable desire.

And plenty of busts. No such thing as a sure thing in the NFL draft. Plus, Carroll knew him better than anyone else in the NFL and he drafted Earl Thomas instead. Obviously a great decision in hindsight, but it was hotly debated at the time.

I agree there is no sure thing in the NFL draft, that applies to any program/conference though. Those USC teams at the time were as safe a bet as you're going to get. Obviously for Mays that wasn't the case though lol...

I don't like judging a player based on a school or conference, that makes as much sense as believing all girls from the south are geniuses or something.

Yeah but I have believe he would be more useful somewhere other than like corn elder or colin jones....

Just saying, in the end all we did was waste time on players that should have just been cut. The NFL is not a developmental league. Rosters are too small, injuries too common, and careers too short.

Why would anyone aspire to be like Colin Jones

Because he's an athlete and not a football player. I know it must come as a shock to you, but the NFL isn't a track and field event.

And yet we drafted Shaq

Sadly, Shaq didn't even test out all that well. All that LB/S tweener talk stopped after his combine. It became very clear he'd have to play LB in the NFL.

I would have thought the "Original Combine King" title would have belonged to Mike Mamula.

Yeah, drove me nuts we wasted a first round pick on a tweener. :(
