I don’t mean to pick on ESPN, everyone had these same/similar pre-season rankings, ESPN’s were just the first result on Google that I could find. The point is everyone flopped and I don’t ever recall that happening before.
This doesn’t even count guys like Andrew Luck, Calvin Johnson, TY Hilton, Mark Ingram and Alfred Morris who also horribly underperformed their draft positions. Better luck next year.
