Other choices:
Cade McNown
Preston Wilson
Takeo Spikes (this isn't entirely fair because Spikes was quite good, but he's the only athlete I've ever seen up close in person where I just couldn't believe his appearance - I don't know how he didn't break guys in half on the field because he looked like one of the Fox NFL robot player animations)

Edit for a kind of funny story: When Bama played at Duke while Richardson was at Bama, some fans went walking around on the UNC campus, and they found the facilities unlocked and unguarded. They took a look in the weight room, took pictures, and after comparing the lifting records on display to Richardson's reported maxes, I think there was only one lift Richardson didn't have beaten.

Cade McNown?Zow said:
Woz, I met him a couple of times. He was listed at 6'1" (no way) and was rather....soft. Are we talking about the same Cade McNown that went to UCLA and got a lifetime ban from the Playboy Mansion?

Maybe it was the fluid and pretty-looking lefty throwing motion.

I was a relatively young kid during his time. For some reason, I thought he looked impressive.

I remember being 100% certain that Lawrence Funderburke was gonna be the next Karl Malone.
Speaking of the next Karl Malone, how about Randy White?

My old boss was #1 Cade McNown fan and was very tight with his mom. He was also Team Jesus and proudly boasted Cade as his fellow disciple in Christ. And so Cade came to the office a few times. Did not look like an NFL QB to me. Didn't play like one either. And when he flamed out of the NFL in spectacular fashion (and got the lifetime ban from Hugh Hefner) the fandom died a quick death.
He was a hell of a QB at UCLA, though. Fun to watch.

I think that's just what I remember. I'm a Vikings fan and I recall wanting them to draft him and then being disappointed because I didn't know the Culpepper guy (again, I was young).

Tony Mandarich was the first guy that came to mind. We know now it was a steroid facade but he was a beast at run blocking in college. And as terrible as he was for the Packers - exposed as a horrific pass blocker - once he got off ‘roids, pain killers & alcohol, he had a couple three productive starter years with the Colts.I'd toss Bosworth and Madarich too.otb_lifer said:Sacromone, tho ... the possibilities wif a gymnast

He lives out in Arizona now, works as a landscape photographer, been sober 25 years. Everyone thought he was a can’t miss, ten year pro bowler. Ya just never know.
