They drafted him to play WR.

Most of my Oregon guys from the late-2000s and early 2010s :sadcam:

Jeremiah Masoli had some minor legal issues (weed/theft) but I guess he wasn't gonna have next to begin with. Looking back and actually looking at his numbers I guess he wasn't that special as a passer but he was a good dual threat QB and helped Oregon to a Rose Bowl :yeshrug:

Cliff Harris in 2010 man :wow: Consensus All-American, 6 picks, 4 return TDs.. wasn't very big but he was damn talented. When he got dismissed I was shocked but he just made a few dumb little mistakes.

After LeGarrette Blount sucker punched that Boise St. guy I thought it was over for him but I was glad to see him do good things in the league when healthy. Thought he was gonna be something special though. 6'1" and 250 with good speed.

Really thought Darron Thomas should've gotten a better chance at going somewhere. He was AWESOME in 2011 but then we ran into Cam but was still pretty much just as good the following year. Good size, fairly mobile, ... I remember him having a weird/slower release and not being an "all the throws" type of QB but he coulda made a squad somewhere imo.

And never forget if you were an Oregon fan over the past five-six years, you remember LaMichael James and DAT. Back in the day LaMichael was a god :mjcry: gettin like 6 yards a carry with okay hands and speed for days. DAT wasn't as good but could line up anywhere and should hopefully get more touches when he's healthy. Don't fail me Kansas City

Chip Kelly :troll:

Hope Mariota, Alonso, Armstead, Buckner, Tyner etc. all break the trend in the next couple years though

Dennis Dixon…. Man…. He was with Pittsburgh but never was going to get a start there

Thomas was good but i knew he was pure college qb

really the black mamba was a tragic what if, i think he comes out now he’s a top ten star in the league, he could be in the backfield or line up wide

If Wentz can be projected 1st round, my nikka TP should be behind center somewhere

TP was fitting for his initials :mjlol: but he had all the intangibles, i guess accuracy maybe, because he had a cannon if I’m remembering right

No, yall ran into my nikka Sir Smokes a Lot, who I am adding next to this list.

Michael Dyer; my boy had next but with smoking weed, horrible attitude, and Gus Bus crazy wife, everything went downhill.

honestly he didn’t do much, it was the bs where everyone knew he was down stopped his progress, and they let it ride that he wasn’t down, auburn so lucky in critical games

Lavar Arrington
Freddie Milons
Charles Rodgers
Roy Williams (WR)
Reggie Bush
Ronald Curry

Ronald curry came at the wrong time


Freddie Milons was fast, and then he got to the league and found out being fast doesn’t equate a successful nfl career, unless you got 4.3-4.2 speed

I knew Reggie would be a bust. But yeah the others I had high expectations for. If Blackmon weren't an alcoholic, he would have been a multiple time Pro Bowler

i just remember reggie williams being bigger and faster than a lot of his competition and just dominating the pac-10 at the time. he just seemed like a no brainer to me smh.
