Vic Beasley should be on here tbh, 15.5 sacks, 11 TFLs, 6 forced fumbles, he was huge for the Falcons that year when they made the SB. He never did much outside of that one year

[heyheyhey]

Rice, Berrian, Harvin, Shiancoe... The 2009 Vikings had an awesome group of receivers.

As a washington fan seeing RG3 injured in that Seahawks game still hurts

[typorter-pplh]

You missed the most interesting fact about Greg Cook. His injury forced offensive coordinator Bill Walsh to develop a short passing game for Cook’s backup, who had limited passing abilities. Without that injury the West Coast offense probably never happens. Walsh called Cook the greatest QB talent he ever saw, and that includes Montana.

I forgot about Gary Barnidge!

“Barnidge brings the carnage”
That man helped me win my fantasy football championship with multiple clutch performances.

The honorable mention, Steve Smith was one of my favorite players as a young Giants fan. In SB 42, on the winning drive for the Giants, between the Helmet Catch and Plaxico's game-winner, Smith made a forgotten but important catch on 3-and-long and tiptoed on the sidelines to help keep that drive alive.

I remember moving to Virginia from Chicago the years that RG3 was a rookie and, man ... he was the main talking point EVERYWHERE.
It didn't bother me, honestly, in my first year living as an out-of-market fan. He was fun to talk about and it was great to see my family who were Skins fans as pumped as they were.
And when that injury happened ... it was like a collective bubble over the region just popped and all the air was out.
Even as a casual observer, it hurt to see.

I feel like Josh Gordon should get an honorable mention. He finished the 2013 season with 87 receptions, nine receiving touchdowns, and a league-leading 1, 646 receiving yards in 14 games. He earned First Team All-Pro honors and was voted to the Pro Bowl. After that season, he kept getting into trouble and was never as productive.

CB Wayne Haddix is a pretty glaring omission. 7 INTs in his 1990 Pro Bowl season with Tampa, on which he led the league in both INT return yards with 231 and pick sixes with 3. Aside from his 16 starts that year, he only started a combined 11 games across 3 other seasons. Funnily enough not many people are familiar with him outside of people who've played a lot of Tecmo Super Bowl, which he's probably the best defensive player in—the Japanese developers weren't super familiar with American football, and based player ratings on 1990 stats, so they assumed he must be an elite corner.

Watching Peyton Hillis happen was crazy. He was like Derrick Henry for one season. He was a truck machine.

[MB-lnyx]

I’m a cowboys fan and as fans we all hate rivals but it made me sad not seeing what rg3 could have been. He was so good when he played. Just an absolute gem of a player.

[deansch]

You really could do an entire list just of Browns.

[jakemckeown]

RGIII is one of the NFL's biggest what ifs. Such a shame that garbage organization rushed him back like that.

[pantherteen]

25:13 “The lesser known Steve Smith.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You got me with that one.

Honorable mention, Lorenzo Alexander LB Buffalo Bills 2016. After 9 years in the league as a career special teamer and back up LB, Lorenzo signed with the Buffalo Bills in 2016. At age 33, Lorenzo won the starting OLB job and would go on to post pro bowl numbers and statistically have the best season of his 15 year career. Alexander posted 12.5 sacks which was more than he had in all of the previous 10 seasons before the 2016. He also recorded 76 total tackles, 3 forced fumbles, 6 pass defenses, and 1 interception. Alexander would go on to the pro bowl that year, his first Pro Bowl as a LB and 2nd Pro Bowl of his career. He was also named the DEF MVP of the 2016 Pro Bowl. In the 2017 off season, Alexander was voted #87 of the top 100 players in the NFL by his peers. Alexander would go on to play 3 more seasons with Buffalo, posting decent numbers, but never coming close to the 2016 dominant sack performance. Alexander officially retired after the Bills were eliminated in the 2019-2020 playoffs. What I think is truly special here, and the reason why Alexander deserves to be on this list, is that Alexander played for 10 years as a back up before he got his opportunity to make his mark in the NFL. But, even with the odds stacked against him, at 33 years old, an age when a lot of guys are considering retirement, Alexander pushed it to a whole other level and forever stamped his place in the hearts and minds of NFL fans, but especially in the hearts and minds of the Bills Mafia.

An obscure one from Bills history: Terry Miller, 1978. In the days when breaking 1000 yards was the measure of a premier RB, Miller, in his rookie season, replacing the departed OJ Simpson, ran for over 1000 yards and made the All-Rookie Team. Three years later he was out of football forever, having spent years 2 and 3 on the bench. Chuck Knox was determined to make the likes of Curtin Brown and Roland Hooks a Thing and seems to have completely forgotten the 1000-yard rusher on the bench, as have most Bills fans.

[astrostar]

Great list. You were very thorough as usual boss. Even got Patrick Jeffers and Marcus Robinson's 1999 season spotlighted. Also the "other" Steve Smith in 2009. Another guy I had on my mind when watching was Steve Beuerlein's 1999 passing season, and Drew Bennet's receiving season in 2004.

[ReinSouls]

If RG3 had been drafted just about anywhere else we'd probably all be discussing right now if he'd be a first ballot HOF'er once he hangs up the cleats. But he had to go to Washington. Where they won't even tell you if you might have cancer. Literally.

[Fireyninjadog]

Anthony henry in 2001 was crazy good. As a rookie, he had 10 picks, tied with ronde barber for the league lead. In his last 3 seasons in cleveland, he had just 7 ints

[sscottygooden]

Loved using Rice on the Seahawks. Him, DB, GT were one of the first receiving cores i paid attention too. They all had that dog in them you can tell
