Real underachievers there.

Bowe was a 50% catcher who we threw to more often than Tony Gonzalaz. He put up stats via volume... the same way Chris Chambers used to. It's like a CB that gets a lot of picks because QB's pick on him. Now he's a league leading WR that gets respect from elite corners.
Hali.. yeah... if you can't see the difference between then and now you're blind. Hali was an 8 sack guy prior to Haley and was coming off a 3 sack season. Now he's a 15 sack guy and one of the elite pass rushers in the NFL.
Of course, now you can tell me how DJ always played up to his potential and is no better now than he was before. Or maybe that it's all a coincidence and that Johnson was just due for his breakout season as a six year veteran.
