If you were to ask the New York Jets fans from 1997 to 2001 what they thought of James Farrior, they would likely call him a bust. Other than his last season in New York, he was not a starter, and the former Eighth Overall Pick from Virginia just wasn't panning out as expected.
After being a 16thRound Pick from Missouri in the 1963 Draft, Andy Russell made the Pittsburgh Steelers team. That in itself was a nice accomplishment, but Russell would prove that just making it to the National Football League wasn't enough.
Maurkice Pouncey was Pittsburgh’s First Round (18thOverall) Pick in 2010, and the Center would instantly become their starting Center.
Greg Lloyd played all but his last season in professional football with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which was an incredible accomplishment for a player at Fort Valley State.
