Bush is the best running back I've ever seen come out of college. Cutler, under the right QB coach will be fine.

The only place Leinhart is goin is to NFLEL in a few years, then Arena, then he'll be drivin a beer truck.

any one of those guys, or all of them, could bust if drafted into the wrong system. bush, I think, is the lone exception simply cuz he's got more raw talent than anyone I've ever seen. leinart would be the one of the bunch I'd like to see fail, although I have to disagree with him not playing well under pressure (recall games against ND and texas)

Cutler and Young. I dont think Bush will be the next Sayers but he will make an impact. Chad Jackson, I can not think of a FL WR that has done well in the NFL.

I wasn't stoked on Jackson's workout. His technique looks sloppy, IMHO. He's got great speed, but his hands are suspect...

The one of the few that has done well is Darrell Jackson.

Also, Nat moore was a damn good WR for the dolphins in the 70's and 80's dude was never number one, but was always good. Another good WR in the 70's and 80's was wes chandler. He went over a thousand yards once for NO and twice for the Chargers. He always had like 50-60 catches and close to a thousand yards most years and played for a decade.

Other than that you've got ike hilliard and chris collinsworth that can be mentioned, travis taylor is a real stretch, Willie Jackson looked good in his first year in Jax, but never did anything there after that, He caught like 80 balls for over a grand for the saints in '01, but didn't do didley after that

the book IMO is still out on Jabar Gaffney and reche caldwell, and even taylor jacobs as he is still on the redskins roster but averages less than one catch a game

Here is the list that I found and whoa, bad

Ernie Mills - Steelers, Panthers, Cowboys - 91-99
Frankie Neal - Packers - 87
Larry Rentz - Chargers - 69
Stacey Simmons - Colts - 90
Eric Hodges - Chiefs - 87
Tyrone Young - Saints - 83-84
Kelvin Kight - Packers - 04
Richard Trapp - Bills, Chargers, Jets, Eagles 68-72
Joel Parker - Saints - 74-77
Jack Jackson - Bears - 95-96
Ricky Nattiel - Broncos - 87-92
Dwayne Dixon - Bucs - 84
Travis McGriff - Broncos 99-01
Lee McGriff - Bucs, Cowboys - 76
Tony Lomack - Rams - 90
Terry Lecount - Niners, Vikings 78-84
Jacquez Green - Bucs, Lions - 98-02
Derrick Gaffney - Jets - 78-84
Chris Doering - Colts, Broncos, Redskins, Steelers - 96-03 DNP in 98,00,01
Reidel Anthony - Bucs, Redskins - 97-02

For the most part they have sucked but there are exceptions and current ones at that (D-Jax) and he really only did good in his senior year at Florida

So in short you agree with him then?

Darrell Jackson of the Seahawks? That cat is unreliable at best. Too damn many drops to put him in with Collinsworth or even Ike. Ike's was a pretty decent WR in his prime, Btw...

But you're right. UF ain't a WR powerhouse. QB's either. It's more of a Running Back factory.

half and half, there have been some good ones, just not that many, I am sure though that if you take a look at all major schools the sucess rate pales in comparison to the failure rate.
