Does anyone remember Scott Shields?

Just talked to a woman who's a secretary to a local yacht broker and she told me she used to work for Scott Shields here in San Diego. I had to look him up 'cause he didn't sound familiar. Played safety in '99. Was he any good, or just a back up?

 

Shields was drafted in the 2nd round, 1999. He had a good game in '99 vs. the expansion Browns. He was gone after the 2000 season.

99 draft landed the Steelers some good players in the later rounds... Joey Porter, Aaron Smith, Amos Zereoue and Kris Brown. 99 was the year Steelers could have drafted Jevon Kearse instead of Troy Edwards. That was almost as bad as missing out on Marino in '83.

 

He was the classic case of possessing all the physical skills (size, speed) but just failed miserably at instincts, in the worse way. He was a 2nd-round pick and a complete bust in every way.

 

I had to look him up and still, don't remember him...........

 

He was gone after just one season, and barely ever saw the field. He was just awful.

 

I remember the name but not much else...

yacht broker huh, where did I go wrong, is there a school for that?

 

I remember that bust

 

if I had a nickel for every time I've said that watching Modern Family

 

I remember several busts. This has nothing to do with football.

 

Yeah I remember him. Like so many, he was a victim of unrealized potential.

 

How could anyone forget Scott Shields. Scott Shields was terrible. I mean just terrible. Scott Shields made Mike Mitchell look like Ronnie Lott. Man was he bad.

 

Looks like someone changed the subject and we're now staring at a Double Yahtzee

 

It was cold and all I saw were snake eyes.
