As we eye Thursday night’s kickoff to the NFL Draft, I thought it would be apropos to look back at some of the more memorable picks of former Oklahoma State players in recent history.
Let’s get the negative out of the way first.
The connotation that comes with the term “bust” is not always fair. Plenty an injury has derailed an otherwise promising NFL career. Unfortunately, Oklahoma State claims a few candidates for not only the biggest bust among former Pokes, but in all of NFL history.
I’ll grade these busts, without bias or judgment for the reason why they didn’t pan out, strictly by the player’s actually production, specifically for the team that invested a pick in him.
