Were you like "I don't know a lot about this guy.." but then became so hyped about it anyway.
Not saying it has to be a first rounder or anything. Just a guy you became a huge fan of.
For me it's Kenny Phillips. he's come up on a few threads recently.
Had never heard of him, watched the draft highlights, and was immediately hooked. I even bought a jersey after a few games lol.
He reminded me of Sean Taylor which was prob the only rival guy in our division at the time that I liked.
What a beast the kid was. Such a shame he never recovered from injury. I miss him!! |

Mathias Kiwanuka. I remember importing my draft classes into Madden and he would always be one of the highest rated rookies. If they did a better job developing him early on and quit moving him from LB to DE I think he may have had a better career. Still a solid player for a late first round pick.

me, too. I remember, "Phil, who"? I was curious... how could a guy from... Morehead Sate?...be any good. |

I get sucked into the hype about all our 1st round picks for different reasons.
Wayne Gallman is a recent player I like based on his attitude. Nothing is too big for this kid.

I ran into Phil at a Grand Union late one night back in 1982. I don't remember what I sent me to the grocery store around midnight but it probably was munchie induced.
I remember he was buying Pampers - he was much bigger than I thought he was - wearing a nice baby blue Adidas sweat suit.
I was wearing jeans and a tee shirt.
We made eye contact and he looked at me like I should know who he was.
Little did he know I was thinking the same thing.

Keith Hamilton. Probably one of the best 4th round players the Giants ever drafted,

BJ Hill
I thought the only reason he got drafted so high is because he was on the line with Chubb. While Chubb was facing double teams, Hill was left to his own, so I thought he only had a good year is because he wasnt the focus of opposing OL's
Im actually THRILLED I was wrong, he looks really good so far. Happy I was wrong
