      He fed off running the triple option with RG3 as a huge rushing threat. Defenses eventually adjusted and we all know what happened to Griffin.

      His efficiency numbers were a product of RG3 being a dual threat under center. His numbers dropped drastically anytime Cousins was at QB.

      He was a complete product of RG3 and when the injuries starting stacking up for RG3, Almo got less effective.

    The first one that came to mind was Vic Beasley. He really just disappeared off the face of the earth after that one good year in 2016.

      I remember when he was released a few years ago and the falcons twitter account announced it and someone replied with “source??” and the falcons twitter account replied back with “literally us the falcons” and that’s the last i heard about him.

    David Irving is the first that comes to mind for me. Had flashes where he took over games like Aaron Donald but just did not really care enough

    Travis Fulgham on the Eagles for me. Granted, they were practically left with practice squad WR’s at this point, but everyone was super hyped on the dude as he had like 3 or 4 weeks of pretty great play (comparatively speaking). Then he just disappeared one day, not even playing poorly, just not playing at all.

    Edit: Scrolling down I see he was already named, but ah well.

      I will forever remember that name due to being an Ohio State fan. Plus …Biakabatuka is just a really memorable name
