    Can't believe Jamain Stephens didn't make the bust list.

    Never mind. These are Colbert busts.

    I wouldn't say that he's necessarily a bust but I wasn't a big fan of his at any time. I've just always had sort of a negative view of him. Wallace sorta reminded me of him honestly but I think Wallace is much worse of a teammate than him though. However, off the field, I think Plax probably wins the idiot medal.

    Honestly I can't remember him well enough to give you any kind of opinion on why he failed.

    Kendall Simmons made the top 10 Colbert bust list but in fairness, he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and had to change his diet and lose weight. Draft picks like Alonzo Jackson, Bruce Davis, Nathaniel Adibi etc. are kind of head scratchers. I guess they are a testament to how difficult it is to be a 3-4 LB in the NFL. Those successful LB-DE hybrids like Fred Dean and Charles Haley are very hard to find and a lot of teams have missed in the draft trying to get them.
