These former 5-STARS ⭐ just went UNDRAFTED

Which player are you the most surprised didn't pan out?

Transferring from school to school kills there development

Kendall Milton not getting drafted honestly attests more to fact that RBs aren’t desirable in the modern game anymore. He was an objectively good player but suffered through injuries, isn’t much of a pass catcher, and had a lackluster combine performance. The NFL needs players with more versatility, and the bar is especially high for RBs in this category nowadays. You can’t just be a good RB anymore.

JT Daniels 0:45 Eyabi Okie-Anoma 1:38 Lorenzo Lingard 3:12 Tyreke Johnson 3:51 Hakeem Dent 4:26 Mark Pope 5:32 Kendall Milton 6:18 Leonard Taylor lll 7:16

As a Michigan fan I’ve seen so many over the years. Soooooo many. So many in fact I stopped being excited over the elusive 5-star ranking. In fact, it’s usually their lower ranked drafts classes that wound up doing the best.

Leonard Taylor. Wow I thought for sure he'd be a 1st rounder if not 2nd. It's a shame he should have returned for sr season. Would have made more money in NIL and probably boost stock for next draft. Same story different year.

If you are a 5 Stars recruit, don’t go to the U of Miami.

Milton stayed injured at uGA, it took him a while to adjust to the inured knee. He looked to be getting back to form his last few games.

This is the prime example why I always say results on the field is what matters getting the best out of the talent is what’s most important.

Some of these young men head become so large, their ego hurt their game, their chances, and achievements to advance to the next level.

I believe overtime we’re really going to see a negative impact on player development from the transfer portal. It essentially enables a quitter attitude. Previously if you lost playing time, got suspended, etc. it put you in a position to compete/grow. Whereas now most players just say screw it and leave. Really no loyalty to your teammates or personal accountability. I’m not saying transferring shouldn’t be allowed, but it’s getting kind of ridiculous.

As someone who worked with Eyabi last season I love that kid his mentality knowing it was his last year was very mature but he also was just a great friend to have and will stand up for any of his younger teammates. He should think about coaching because he is good at explaining pass rush concepts.

A-State had Jayden Daniel’s take that comment back 😂😂

UGA fan here...JT Daniels was an elite QB he just was injury prone and in weird situations first at USC then UGA and West VA, calling him a bust is wrong. Now Kendal Milton..stayed the course at UGA behind Nick Chub, Sony Michel, Deandre Swift, Elijah Holyfield, Zamar White, James Cook and Kenny McIntosh, yes he was injury prone but here is an interesting fact with UGA RBs in the Kirby Smart Era...Only 1 RB has been hurt in an actual game, the rest are injuries sustained in Practice (kinda makes me wonder what the hell they are doing)

How is a kid a bust if he medically retired?

Being a Miami fan is hard

Being a five star puts a lot of expectations and pressure on a 17/18 year old kid to live up to.

Eyabi I was so excited for! Especially considering I graduated with his brother in high school. I hope he gets a chance in the league!

"5 Star Recruit" is so overrated...ALOT of these guys get hit with reality in college and are just not that good. The ridiculous thing is that people still cling to "He was a 5 star recruit" when it becomes obvious after a few seasons in college that he is just a guy but nowhere near a dominating player.

No team in the last 25 years has won the national championship without having a top 10 recruiting class in the previous 4 years…development matters but stars are also there for a reason
