I just remember there being a point in time where a Chiefs versus Bengals matchup involved like 6 starters named Johnson. Want to say 2005. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoSojia Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 (edited) 5 minutes ago, Jakuvious said: I just remember there being a point in time where a Chiefs versus Bengals matchup involved like 6 starters named Johnson. Want to say 2005. That reminds of a 2008 game between the Broncos and Chiefs in which there were like 5 players named Brandon/Branden. Brandon Marshall, (WR) Brandon Stokley, Branden Albert, Brandon Carr, and Brandon Flowers. Edited May 20 by BroncoSojia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angleae Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 First name that came to my mind was Shaun Alexander. 3 good seasons, 2 excellent seasons (including a MVP) then got paid and basically fell of the planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Peterson is another guy who I thought would have been an absolute lock 5 years in his career.

Sugashane Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Mark Anderson had 12 sacks as a rookie for CHI and was 2nd to DeMeco Ryans in the DROY voting. He then barely produced except for 1 year in NE with 10 sacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's close to HOF discussion though. Just shy of 10K, but has 100TDs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 I just thought of Neal Anderson for the Bears. The successor to Walter Payton. He was on a roll his first few seasons. Four straight Pro Bowls. But then his production declined, and injuries roughed him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFlaccoSeagulls Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 You could also name several Kickers in this thread who started their careers off just as good or better than Justin Tucker, but then ended up as nothing more than journeyman or out of the league entirely. Aldon Smith is another guy who comes to mind, but there are a lot of 49ers in those mid-late 10's years who were like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minutemancl Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 On 5/19/2024 at 6:33 AM, Danger said: Mike Evans is the Frank Gore of wide receivers. He's good, been consistently good, but he's never been elite. Disqualifying for me. This is a whole separate topic, but I'll summarize and say I disagree strongly and think players that produce at a high level for that long consistently, like Evans and Gore, absolutely deserve a place in the HOF.

Football_Bachelor08 Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Michael Thomas was a true star his first few seasons. Thanks to injuries, the guy has basically disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
