On a side note: the term 'bust' to me says more about the team drafting the player than the player himself.
The best LB in that group never made it in the pros.
Agree he was the best "college" linebacker in the group.

My thought was that Kiko would have the best NFL career, obviously.

I'm pretty sure Kiko is playing in the pros...

He's likely talking about Michael Clay. Good college LB but didn't have the ideal size/speed for the NFL.

I know who he was talking about, I just don't agree. ;)

You think Kiko was better than Clay? Don't agree at all.

Im less concerned with whether he is a 'bust' than what is going on in his life...what demons hes facing, maybe hes clinically depressed, and maybe the whole 3rd draft pick thing has been more of thorn in his side where he doesnt feel and either do the fans that he isnt living up to potential...I hope he gets past this and enjoys his life, and also hope he gets another chance with a team where he can play to his strengths, but first things first...
