Albeit they were aided by a 5th place schedule That's true. In 1992, they were 19th in points allowed, 22nd in yards allowed, 18th against the pass, and 23rd against the run. The tougher schedule led to this, and so did an anemic offense (22nd in points scored, 21st in total yards) that was without...

Never a QB like Sanders ... La'el Collins went from 1st round to UDFA due to being investigated for a possible homicide connection. Became a good lineman. The Honey Badger, Tyrann Mathieu was the last player I remember sliding in the draft due to strength concerns. HOVG-type player ... Correct me i...

Out of curiosity, what are some players historically that were initially projected to go high in the NFL draft, but fell far, and why?

A very Parcellian quote indeed. He absolutely hit on it. They were a talented, well coached team, a team that can beat anyone at any time during the regular season. I don't think those Bronco teams from the 80's were that talented, especially the 87 team. Elway pretty much carried them to the Super...

Here’s the thing about the 1991 Redskins: Some people think highly of them and others don’t. Those...
