Who are some of the great athletes drafted outside of the 1st round who just didn't have it?

Dorial-Green Beckham ran a 4.5 at 240 (!!) pounds. Crazy that someone that big and fast was so bad at football.

DGB's issue wasn't his football skills. He was just a nutcase. 

Yup, I remember him having some moments where he looked the part, played like an alpha male at WR - then he'd get into trouble in some capacity. Drug possession, domestic violence, possession with intent to distribute - it's all pretty bad.

He just got arrested for assault in August this year, so he's not really changed much...

Edit: He was arrested LAST WEEK (11/22/21) for a parole violation.

Dontay Moch, LB from Nevada - he hit a 4.44 40 yard dash with a 42in vert and a 10' 8" broad jump at 6' 2" 255. The explosiveness and top end speed were incredible at his size, and his college production was very impressive - the 5th year Sr posted 62.5 TFL and 30 sacks over the course of his career at Nevada. There was a lot of promise to look into with Moch.

Moch was drafted by the Bengals in the 3rd round, and bounced around the NFL - did a stint with the Toronto Argonauts and Los Angeles KISS/Arizona Rattlerson and their respective PS too. He managed 7.5 tackles and 1.5 sacks combined across the three leagues, a far cry from his college days.

Moch currently owns a gym/performance center in Arizona. He was inducted into the Nevada Wolf Pack HoF in 2020.

Paris Campbell starting to become a candidate for this thread. At Ohio State he played in 38 of 39 games. His 40 time was 4.31 and had a 40in vertical. Not that many Players have been unlucky as him. His rookie year he dealt with multiple injuries that ended his season.

His sophomore season he gets injured his first game against the Vikings tearing his pcl. This season after scoring a 60 yard TD against the Texans the safety comes down on his back heel injuring his toes. It’s unfortunate because he has the talent to succeed in the NFL just can’t stay healthy.
