Changes of Scenery: Turning a Bust into a Star
The Baldwin/Jenkins thread makes me wonder this.

What are some examples of guys who were busts for the team that drafted them, and then blossomed when they went to a new team?

I'm sure that some exist, but right now I'm having some trouble coming up with a good example. In particular, let's concentrate on high draft picks, but if you have others who languished and then became stars, throw them out there.

Favre flourished with his second team, but I'm not sure he was a bust with his first team. He just didn't play for them.

Priest Holmes flourished with his second team, but he was undrafted and had a 1,000 yard season with his first team.

Randy Moss flourished with New England after busting for Oakland, but he did pretty well with Minnesota before that.

Who ya got? Throw some names up here.

Cedric Benson (4th ovr pick) would be a good example too but he sucked in Chicago and was pretty good in Cinci.

Would Tony Mandarich count? He was a high pick who busted out and then had a solid few years with Indy.

Hrmmm....Bernard Pollard was the same player imo. He wasn't bad as a Chief.

Rogers had one good year in SF and all i hear about is how SF needs DB help....

False.

He wasn't good in Cinci, he just got more carries.

Really? Holmes was the best running back in Texas, better than Ricky Williams. He had a 1,000 yards rushing in 1998.

I loved the guy.

Brett Favre is probably the biggest one.

He was drafted by the New England Patriots in the 4th round to play safety. When he refused, he was shipped off to Minnesota.

I'm fairly certain Priest had at least a 4 ypc average. I remember that because I argued in favor of him on this bb when that trade happened and people were bitching. Still, he was an undrafted rookie free agent. Therefore he couldn't possibly be considered a bust.
