    The average NFL career is only 3.3 years. You're short changing some of these guys' careers. If your elite for 3-5 seasons and a decent option for another 3-5, you've had a really solid NFL career. Retiring before the NFL inevitably destroys your body and/or brain isn't such a bad thing

    Deuce McCallister was a beast in New Orleans for about 2-3 years… then it seemed like the second they drafted Reggie Bush he was snuck out the back door! Another guy was Travis Henry for the Bills and Titans, he would kill it in 2002 amd 2003 on the Bills. They draft McGahee anyway and it was like Buffalo instantly forgot what Henry just did for them those 2 years! Then this exact scenario played out for Henry once again In Tennessee 😮‍💨 🤦‍♂️

    • @gunjac86
      @gunjac86 4 місяці тому +4

      From what I remember Deuce had like a 5 or 6 year run as the lead back in NO. Not 2-3 years. Even after they drafted Bush, Deuce got more work at RB. His issue was he fell apart around 06-07. But that dude had a nice run with NO and got a second and third contract from them so I think you’re remembering him incorrectly.

    • @gunjac86
      @gunjac86 4 місяці тому +1

      Also NO drafted Bush in 05 and Deuce retired in 08. So 3 years seems like a long time to sneak somebody out the back door.

    • @gunjac86
      @gunjac86 4 місяці тому

      And then Henry was a mess off the field. Like most teams couldn’t wait to get rid of Henry because he had a dozen kids and as many baby mamas on top of legal issues. I’d take Mcgahee any day just based off the kind of human he was. He also was just a better RB than Henry could dream of being. And then again on Tennessee if you had a choice of Chris Johnson or Travis Henry I can assume your choice would be CJ2K unless you got mental issues.

    Three TEs that could also be found on “one-year wonder” videos: Jordan Cameron, Gary Barnidge, and Eric Ebron. All of them had their best statistical year by a long shot with tuddies for days, looked like a future star in the making, and then disappeared within 2 or 3 seasons.
    Speaking of Browns’ one-year wonders, QB Terrelle Pryor switched to WR in his 4th season, then in his 6th season in 2016 he eclipses 1000 yards for a very bad Browns team with terrible QBs, but then doesn’t even reach 1000 yards combined over his final two seasons playing for some other dumpster teams of Washington, Buffalo, and the Jets.

      He just sucked. The dude had 3 games of 200 yards and literally did nothing after that. That season he had like 1100-1200 yards and half his season total yards came in 3 games.

      AB84? I don’t think a twelve year career with an 8-year stretch as one of the best in the league qualifies as “very good but couldn’t make the long run.” Did he go from the mountain top to being out of the league a little sooner than some thought? Sure, he didn’t end up with Moss, Owens, Fitzgerald-type longevity and it had probly more to do with his brain than his body. But idk how you can say he belongs on this list.
      Joe Haden also had a 13 year career, and played for years after his best statistical seasons. So three of your five suggestions are bunk.

      ......................He started 7 games. He played in all 16 games and had over 330 carries. He was basically rb1 all year. Lol. Only reason he didn't start every game was because Holmes was still "considered" the rb1, but he didn't even have 150 carries that season and never really played again. No, he wouldn't be in the 2k club.
