Have you ever read something that made you go, “Huh?”
Well, that is exactly what happened when I read a recent article by Nate Davis of USA Today. In it, he tabs Jack “Throwin Samoan” Thompson as the biggest draft bust in the history of the Cincinnati Bengals. Thompson came in at No. 18 on the list of the NFL Draft’s 50 biggest busts of the last 50 years. Akili Smith comes in at No. 34, with Ki-Jana Carter and Dan “Big Daddy” Wilkinson in a tie at No. 44.
Clearly, the man never saw either Thompson or Smith play in person.
