Apparition Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 9 hours ago, ChazStandard said: Devin McCourty is a weird case of early success, regression and then progression. He locked down a starters role as rookie (which very rarely happens with BB), played almost every single cornerback snap that season, getting 7 picks 17 PBU, 2FF and a sack, made the pro-bowl and was in discussion for DROY. ...then came back in 2011 and was terrible. Truly awful. He regressed so badly he to actually switch positions in 2012. But THEN he became a great safety. I think in 2011 teams picked up on some specific thing he struggled against in 2010 and just attacked it relentlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 LaMarr Woodley dropped off quickly. Got paid...got fat....lost Harrison....rest is history. LeVeon Bell, Santonio Holmes and Mike Wallace were never the same after leaving Pittsburgh. Maurkice Pouncey regressed significantly after Mike Munchack left.

ET80 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 What about Andre Johnson? Had close to 1,000 his final season in Houston, went to Indy and barely got over 500 with a better QB situation. No real injuries to account for, but he was 34... Maybe it's just a case of Father Time catching up to AJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too lazy to look but I'd expect it to be maybe based on all the carries prior to that point from peewee to then Johnson was a lot older than you'd expect....I think that hitting that 29/30 yr age is as bad as the workload a player gets. Johnson fell off at age 29, same as Priest Holmes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's age involved to a point but u could hypothetically have a 29/30 year old back who didn't receive many carries in college but turned into a good back for a few years and then went to garbage 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys who play RB at the college level are typically the biggest, strongest and fastest HS players and can basically shrug off most of the hits they take at that level.

Most regressions seemed to be linked to specific reasons (injury, change of scheme, loss of motivations or "another reason"). Names that come to mind are; -Demarco Murray -Micheal Turner -Dez Bryant -Shawne Merriman -Brian Cushing (Lol, I just saw that he's an assistant strength and conditioning coach for the Texans... wth?) -Ray Edwards -BJ Raji -Greg Jennings Texan East Germans come out of nowhere in 2021 to surprise league.

Julius Thomas comes to mind Josh Norman maybe? Julius Thomas was a product of Peyton Manning. I saw his fall off coming the moment he left Denver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
