Peppers gets his first career NFL Interception

and jump to the Lions. Try to get somewhere with a solid organization behind it.

This is true. If Peppers is great, and I believe he will be, this will never be remembered. 

Anyone who has followed the Lions through 0-16 (remember their preseason record?) knows how to think about this.

Genau.

Next time ask those cooler poopers how the following THEEEEE ohio 1st round picks did in the NFL:

10. Andy Katzenmoyer, New England Patriots (No. 28, 1999) - was one of the best linebackers in the country, and one of the most infamous college athletes of the late 20th century. A Sports Illustrated story told the country of the nefarious ways Katzenmoyer remained eligible to play football for Ohio State.  He was a much-debated NFL draft prospect who fell to the bottom of the first round. If he hadn’t dropped, he’d be much higher on this list. A neck injury quickly derailed his NFL career, and he played in only two seasons.

9. Archie Griffin, Cincinnati Bengals (No. 24, 1976) - only player in the history of college football to win the Heisman Trophy twice. His NFL career was not quite as illustrious.  He played seven seasons but never reached 700 rushing yards in a season. When the Bengals played in the Super Bowl in 1982, Griffin was a reserve and carried the ball twice in three playoff games.

8. Craig Powell, Cleveland Browns (No. 30, 1995) - a linebacker spent two seasons with the Browns/Baltimore Ravens and one with the New York Jets. Three years after being done in the NFL, Powell resurfaced with the San Francisco Demons of the XFL.  He played in 15 NFL games, and according to a website dedicated to the Demons (seriously), Powell had 26 tackles and a sack in the lone season of the XFL.

7. Rick Middleton, New Orleans Saints (No. 13, 1974) - a linebacker, started all 14 games in his second NFL season, and then was out of the league after five years. He spent the final three with the Chargers, where he started two games.

6. Howard Cassady, Detroit Lions (No. 3, 1956) - “Hopalong” won the Heisman Trophy in 1955, and then spent eight underwhelming seasons as an NFL running back. He had 604 yards from scrimmage and 7 touchdowns in 1958, which was his best statistical season. He was fifth in the NFL in touchdown catches that season.

5. Rickey Dudley, Oakland Raiders (No. 9, 1996) - was a huge tight end prospect, but was just OK for a few years with the Raiders before his career fizzled out. He did finish ninth in the league in touchdown catches one year, and he managed to hang on in the NFL for nine seasons, playing for three teams.  Michigan tight end Jay Riemersma finished with 221 catches in his NFL career — the same total as Dudley — and was also selected in the 1996 draft. He went 235 picks later, in the seventh round.

4. Eric Kumerow, Miami Dolphins (No. 16, 1988) - played three seasons in the NFL after being a first-round pick. He never became a starter, and had five sacks in three seasons as a reserve linebacker. He has a pair of nephews, Joey and Nick Bosa, who should spend a little more time in the NFL than he did.

3. Vernon Gholston, New York Jets (No. 6, 2008) - was a big recruiting win for Ohio State from Cass Tech in Detroit. He had 14.5 sacks as a redshirt sophomore in 2007 and declared for the draft.  Three seasons after being the No. 6 pick, the Jets were done with him. He signed contracts with two other teams and had a tryout with a third, but never played in the NFL again. He finished his career without sacking an NFL quarterback.

2. Tom Cousineau, Buffalo Bills (No. 1, 1979) - became the answer to a lot of trivia answers in a relatively anonymous NFL career. The Bills received the No. 1 pick as part of a package in a trade for O.J. Simpson. Cousineau spurned the Bills and signed with the Montreal Alouettes of the CFL instead.  When Couisneau, a linebacker, decided he was ready for the NFL, the Bills traded him to the Cleveland Browns for a package of picks that included a 1983 first-round choice. That pick became Jim Kelly.  Cousineau spent four years as a starter in Cleveland, then two years not playing much for the San Francisco 49ers. He also hit a police car and was charged with drunk driving, though he was found not guilty.

1. Art Schlichter, Baltimore Colts (No. 4, 1982) – his gambling problems are well documented, and they ruined not only his NFL career but his life. He started six NFL games, threw 3 touchdown passes and was intercepted 11 times. More importantly, his story has been told over and over again to young football players about gambling and addiction. He is now serving a 127-month sentence in a federal prison in Indiana for wire fraud, bank fraud and filing false income tax returns.

That IS midfield.

*sigh*

 

Pfff... naww... that makes no sense...

lol yeah jamies threw it right to him

The game was in Columbus but he got an interception last year.

I kinda am too.

and my sample size is large as it encompass virtually every person I interact with every day. They were upset when the Brown's traded out of the 12 pick w Hooker there. But after a couple of days of practice that started to fade and once they saw him on the field it almost completely disappeared. it'll be gone entirely by seasons end.
