If he wasn’t good (or showed potential) in college he wouldn’t have been a first round draft pick. He’s a bust because he was an NFL first round draft pick that failed. What would one qualify as a player with “having all the talent in the world and not putting it together.”? You're describing half the players in the NFL.
He had length & size with decent production as a senior. But he had no burst off the ball. Had no business going in the first round especially when TJ Watt was sitting there.

I'll continue the eat crow on Taco. Thought he could have been a player. Was ok with the pick at the time.
I don't think you should feel bad. Who knows with these guys? Some look like gold in college and some don't and turn it on when they get to the pros. You never really know.

Seems I recall some here thinking letting this guy go was an error. Something about he had a good game or preseason game, and there were fans wondering if this was the right move for Dallas to move him along..

I suppose it was.

I spotted the Taco Man at the East Pioneer Parkway Taco Bell asking customers if they want Mild or Super-Hot sauce with their orders. Nice to see the young man finally found a job where he didn't get sacked!

My shocked face. A legend in his own mind.
