AkronsWitness Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Is there anybody that you remember for being a good player that suddenly disappeared off the map or was more of a flash in a pan that never resurfaced anywhere? For these players I wanted to find honest answers as to what caused their downfall. My first person is WR Stevie Johnson from the Bills. He was really good for 3 years and then just disappeared, what happened? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Kellen Winslow Jr. was a beast for the Browns and then...well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Also Dannell Ellerbee. He was a beast for the Ravens and then was a piece of dook after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an sick person who dealt with serious mental instability and physical football injuries. This is like the X-Files of NFL players. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good one, I remember him being the next great thing that everybody wanted a piece of him. Another few I was thinking about was a pair of RBs.

BleedTheClock Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 The weirdest disappearance has to be Tampa Bay Buccaneer WR Michael Clayton. He was so freaking good and then just decided to be horrible after ripping it up as a rookie. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywabbit Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 With all the Giants WR drama going on, I was thinking about what happened to (the other) Steve Smith. He was awesome for me in fantasy football that one year (102/1220/7 in 2009). But even though he was the "new" Steve Smith, the old Steve Smith ended up being relevant a lot longer. Also, shouldn't Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz still be in the good part of their careers? What's happening to the Giants at that position? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the most sought after Safety's in FA 5-6 years ago and then just fell off the face of the Earth. That was a weird offseason malcolm jenkins got replaced by Byrd and has been one of the best players on the eagles since. thanks saints.

Chiefs_5627 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 (edited) Jonas Gray for the Patriots. Dude comes outta nowhere, rushes for 200+ yards 4 TDS in 1 game and literally disappears. Maybe there was more to it that I didn't hear but that one sticks out to me. Edited July 28, 2019 by Chiefs_5627 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelersfan43 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Sammie Coates First 5 week in the 2016 season, Coates had like over 450 yards with so many big play and after he had a hand injury and it was over from that moment on for him. I do not even know if Coates has a job right now, he has been in Cleveland, Houston and maybe KC, but Coates has not stayed long with his teams and now he's looking for a job just to be in a 90 man roster.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Late to a team meeting afterwards and we've ran over Indianapolis with other backs before. Edited July 28, 2019 by Elky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFM18 Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 One that springs to mind for the Colts is Dallas Clark. Had an absolute amazing career in Indy with Peyton. Then he left and sort of did nothing for a while before retiring. Awesome TE for a few seasons though. Another one is Josh Cribbs. Once touted as one of the top returners ever with Devin Hester. He just sort of disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
