He wasn't bad in Buffalo but was never living up to his draft position or number 1 lockdown corner tag. Joins NE and everything changes for him. Glad he got his SB. Wasn't that the case for Wes Welker in Miami too? He was nobody then he goes playing with Brady and becomes an allstar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC people thought the Patriots massively overpaid for Gilmore. Count me in as one of those people who did not see him becoming as dominant as he did in the years that followed.

drew39k Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) Finally a topic where being a Jets fan doesn't bring immediate shame. Thankfully, our lack of talent evaluation and player development has all but evaporated the chances of a player leaving us and being any good at all. The best player to fit this mold in recent memory is probably Johnathan vilma. He was pretty good with us but we changed defenses and he went to New Orleans and carved out a pro bowl career. Leonard williams was, briefly good with the Giants. Bryce Huff has a shot to be that guy in philly though. Edited to add Demario Davis. He did well after leaving my.

Brett Favre actually would fit, for the Jets. John Abraham a little, but he was pretty great in NY before Atl, but he does have the majority of his sacks in Atl. James Farrior for sure. Lamont Jordan had his only notable year the year after leaving the Jets. Santana Moss and John Riggins were both more productive in Washington. Terance Mathis and Rob Moore. Hugh Douglas. Lorenzo Neal was a mercenary, but his career really took off, after he left NY. '24 Sam Darnold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't good when on the Ravens but roided up with the Steelers and Richard Rydze's program. Barry Bonds head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Jensen was a really good C for the Bucs, but was a backup for the Ravens until the final year of his rookie contract when he started. Zadarius Smith is another Raven that got away, but like Judon, the Ravens are comfortable developing their edges slowly and letting them walk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The narrative in Philly is that he had his anxiety issues actually managed through mental health experts; I don't know if that was afforded in the Bill O'Brien era.

indifference Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) Jameis Wins..nope Kwon Alexand..nope I really can't think of any for the Bucs.
