I feel like when he said he wasn’t prepared it was probably mostly because up until he got into college he didn’t have to do any real film study or understand what kinda scheme the offense ran or anything like that.

This is a model athlete in my opinion. The guy came out of high school and struggled at a top college football program. He stayed there and tried to get better but it didn't work out. He transferred somewhere else to get more playing time and learn more about the game. He ended up making it to the pros and playing a bit. He never blamed anyone else for his struggles, he never gave up during those struggles, and he never tried to act like he was being mistreated or cheated. I see someone like this and then I see some of the athletes on Last Chance U and can't help but shake my head those guys were getting more camera time than someone like this. Really happy to hear things worked out for him in the long run, he deserved it!

Look the truth was he was just growing from a DE to a DT during his college years. He was less agile but bigger and stronger but had NO experience playing his new natural position on the inside. Nor did he have the drive, as he admitted, to learn. I think this happens to a lot of strong side DE that keep getting bigger in college. Maryland ran a 3 man front that year, so he absorbed blockers. You can't expect great stats in that scheme. Fact is he did what he was supposed to do at Maryland in that scheme, and the pro scouts saw it and took a chance on him. He was a great DE in high school who just kept growing into a serviceable NFL DT, and his stats sucked in the transition period. He just got signed by the Bears so let's see if he makes an impact.

Anyway, our QB throws a pick and im chasing, out of nowhere, i see a large shadow (briefly) in my peripheral. Low and behold Byron Cowart was hunting for a crack back and the target was me. I aint never been hit so fucking hard in my life. Pieces of my helmet started coming off and blacked out for 2 seconds. I get up, albeit, stumbling and walk to the sideline. My coach sees me and asks if im good. Like mfer, you and I both know i have a concussion because a bear decided to maul me. I finished the game out with a broken helmet and a concussion.

Some guys just can’t make the transition to the next level. Especially from High School to college is probably one of if not the biggest difference in talent level and size. Of course someone his size, speed, power and agility shines against 16-17yr olds who are 5-10 and a buck 70 but when you go to a division 1 school especially in the SEC literally everyone was that guy in high school and were the best thing since sliced bread in their town or city. Once they go up against others like them or even better than them they just don’t pan out. Sadly some guys peak in high school and as far as getting to the next level they have the size and skills but maybe not enough to shine through all the other 4&5 star recruits.

@@arizonaron5149 I apologize if that’s how that read because I was trying poorly to say the exact opposite thing lol! He absolutely did not fail, like the dude in video said, I was trying to say the guy went to college at least 4 years(I’m assuming played in Sr. Bowl and I’m assuming he graduated college because there was a snippet quote about him at the Sr bowl), D1, and played(‘s?) in the NFL. In the overall game of life, he is Winning! He got trashed in the video because espn and rival’s failed to rank him properly but it “looks” like he failed or was a bust even though I don’t see that way.

I mean he's in the league. I wouldn't consider that a bust but from what you described he definitely isn't living up to the hype

Not a good idea to make this video because the guy still has a career going and even if it ended today he still had a way better career than most former #1's

To be fair to him he was behind an @$$ load of talent at Auburn. And that talent worked.

So he's the biggest miss by espn. I have coached HS ball for 20 years and 28 sacks in 2 season is very good. HS teams even 7 years ago ran the ball way more the colleges and Pro. Plus teams if they had decent coach would have a OT TE and maybe a RB chipping on him every passing play? But the biggest Bust was ESPN making him the number 1 guy

Bro, this guy showed up and didn't work. Alabama/Nick would NEVER put up with that. Im telling you we tried everything to get this guy motivated but he just didn't have the dog in him at the time. Derrick brown showed up as a 5star at Auburn, and worked his but off then landed as the 7th pick. Marlon Davidson was 5 star lineman who came to work and it payed off with him going early in the draft also. Both those guys where on campus with byron and where developed by Auburn so whats the difference? Byron NEVER blamed Auburn so i give him ultimate credit for being a man though. Nick Saban would have kicked this guy off the team after year one, maybe that's where we went wrong.

I hope ole buddy can be successful at life.Everybody isn’t going to be a good football player.Some will be great hs, some great college, some great nfl.U put a reason to the why.Some people just don’t have the aggressive confidence to advance in football. I hate it for him.Has a whole fan base mad at him for the next 20 years because he didn’t take them to a title. I hope he gets what money he can in the league and be successful for HISSELF.
