Still blows my mind how the Detroit Lions managed to get 2 generational talents in arguably the greatest RB of all time Barry Sanders and greatest WR of all time in Calvin Johnson and failed to even sniff the super bowl, closest they ever got was 1991 in Barry’s 3rd season where they got smoked by the eventual Super Bowl champion Washington Redskins in the NFC championship game
Calvin wasn't the greatest WR ever. Not even close. But your point is spot on. I wonder if the Lions can ever get back on top while in Detroit. It's a dying city that's been going down for 50 years. It's broke, morale is terrible, and former fans are outnumbering current fans.
@@michiganrulez1 you have a good point...People just try to diminish without understanding...Megatron was a monster definitely a good candidate for best all time no issues from me
I noticed Fryar was averaging 17 yds a reception in NE his 2nd and 3rd year and 18 yds in his 6th year but no 1,000 yard season. They weren't throwing him the ball. Why do you draft a WR no 1 and not throw him the ball?
because you had a shitty Qb. Dude wasn't a bust but you can't put up numbers until you get a Qb goes to Miami gets Marino and finally is able to ball out.
@@NPAMike Fryar was a beast in Miami and Philly they had him and Ricky Watters in their primes at Philly and messed it up with bad defenses I can definitely see a few wrs model their game after him in today's game
I remember when Fryar was in NE. I'm surprised his numbers weren't great because he was considered a star player and a weapon. They had a couple decent QB's in that period like Grogan and Eason.
Mainly because they had no good QBs to get him the ball. It’s actually quiet a simple thing to figure in terms of identifying a problem, it’s just difficult to fix
If you look at the blurbs from their 95-98 seasons, you can see that the 3-13 and 1-15 teams were coached by Rich Kotite, and the 9-7 and 12-4 squads were coached by Bill Parcells. I’m thinking that MIGHT have had something to do with it too.
I agree. He's got the right tone to keep people like me interested and realize so many things I never knew about the topic of discussion. Not many have that ability.
always find it funny when whyte guys portray JaMarcus Russel as the "biggest" bust in nfl history. When you got guys like Jarod Goff and Carson Wentz, both #1 and 2 overall picks who's teams won super bowls after they were taken out the starting lineup. That's the literal definition of a bust. Or even a guy like Baker Mayfield, another #1 overall pick who played for 4 teams in 6 years getting like 5 coaching staffs fired along the way. But according to whyte guys JaMarcus Russel is the "biggest" nfl bust ever! Sounds about whyte!🤣
It's a position most men could play if they were in football shape. You don't need to be a big guy (look at Steve Smith Sr) or a fast guy (Steve Largent) to be successful. Just run great routes and catch balls like a bordertown hooker.
a lot of the WRs taken in top 5 picks haven’t been any more successful than guys in the mid to late 1st. vital position, but one with a lot of high end talent compared to QB, OT, or DE like KTO mentioned at the beginning
I don’t remember if it was him or randy moss, but I remember a highlight of a WR jumping up and catching a TD over 4 Miami players. That was always my favorite clip.
To be fair: Lane Kiffin (Head Coach of the Raiders in 2007) wanted to draft Calvin Johnson with the first overall pick. After Jamarcus had his performance in the Sugar Bowl, Al Davis overruled him and the rest was history.
Part of the reason I will always believe he left New York was his rivalry with Wayne Chrebet. He was so dramatically insecure about Chrebet it boggled the mind. How could this little white no speed no name school receiver become the security blanket of the Jets offense? When it was like...Johnson. You're both good players, he hunts underneath so you can over the top. But he couldn't see it that way. That immaturity consistently showed throughout his career.
@@scizorbullet8185 I mean you can look at it that way. But a lot of people consider the victory towards Chrebet if you consider the Green Lantern play in which Chrebet helped stun the Bucs knowing full well the endless talk Keyshawn threw his way in the time proceeding.
@Musical Box You seem like somebody very, very self conscious for you to comment that on a post that was meant to be funny. Don't worry, I'll pray for you that you fond your way :)
Keyshawn reminds me again of what Brandon Marshall was saying: A lot of the guys that were stars from early on, used to the limelight and went through some period of social recklessness, yet still well under parental and coaching influence, will less likely be a diva down the road. But like AB and Keyshawn, who had jack for recognition, then explodes, now with more toys, more money, more recognition and feels like they're not expendable, they blow up, become reckless and are no longer any adult influence to shape character. I hope teams learn to stay away or at least find some way to keep such guys in check.
As horrible as Ryan Leaf was as a player/person, I will always say Russell was the biggest draft bust ever, mainly because of ALL the great players taken after him. Johnson, Peterson, Thomas, Revis... all of them will be in the HOF!!! I know it sounds off topic, but it fits a end of this story.
I say that Leaf is the biggest bust ever because he had far more hype, the Chargers traded up for him, and he was so much worse than Russell. The Chargers also passed on Charles Woodson, Fred Taylor, Randy Moss, & Alan Faneca.
We can debate over whether or not he was worth a #1 overall pick, but there's no denying that Keyshawn had a solid NFL career. I remember him going on a talk show shortly after his final season, and the host basically pointed out to him that his career is pretty complete: 3 Pro Bowls, a Super Bowl ring, 10k+ receiving yards, over 60 TDs...what more could he ask for?
Yes he had a solid career but he did not live up to his draft position. If you redo that draft no team would take him number one. And yes he did win a Super Bowl, but so did 52 other guys on that team
History has proven that for the most part, you can get a great quality wide receiver lower down the draft board but a lot of the more in-demand positions like OT, QB, DE, etc. tend to dominate the toward the top of the draft. I am not saying the wider receivers in this video were busts but perhaps did not live up to their potential as #1 picks.
I always love how you end these videos, I didn’t realize how bad the raiders messed up they could’ve the goat of WRs and they went with jaMarcus Russell Damn !!!
Fryar seems to have the Vinnie Testaverde career for WRs. As a Jets fan, Keyshawn was awesome, but nobody shed too many tears when left especially when pick turned out to be John Abraham(who in turn became Nick Mangold).
@@jayc9904 Ah he made Pro bowl in 2 of 4 years with the Jets and 99 was a great year considering the QBs(or lack there of) he was working with. He really had one more great year with the bucs and settled into being okay the rest of the way.
Peak Jets: Get generational talent at WR with a chance to build a juggernaut. Trades him to a Super Bowl winner instead of paying him. Return to 4th place in the AFC East.
Dude I swear to God KTO has the smoothest and dopest endings of any football channel or maybe any channel period on TH-cam. I never see it coming and it’s always just straight fire 🔥
Keyshawn Johnson was the no.1 pick in 1996 there was two other WR taken in that draft later & both are HOF Marvin Harrison picked 18 & Terrell Owens taken in the 3rd round.
Just think if the Packers and Raiders would have accepted the trade of Randy Moss for backup Aaron Rodgers then the Raiders wouldn’t have taken Jamarcus Russell at #1 and they could have accepted Calvin Johnson. Meaning we would have seen the duo’s of Aaron Rodgers & Calvin Johnson and also Brett Favre & Randy Moss.
They made the right move…. If anyone has number 1 then and didn’t have a for sure QB you take him, it’s just that he didn’t have work ethic and didn’t give a shit but talent wise it was the right choice
I think were underestimating Fryar and Keyshawn because they had some bad QBs around them before they started producing. Like Keyshawn best QB was probably Pennington or Brad Johnson.
Damn, in all my years of exploring alternate timelines in madden, this is an obvious one that I never thought of for some reason. That would have been special.
And what a tragedy that such a great player wasted his entire career playing for such a mediocre franchise. JaMarcus Russel would have been far more fitting for the Lions 😆
No way. The value is in the guys who throw the ball. Not catch it. College now running the spread offense with multiple receivers are producing talent deep into the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Not so much as we have seen with QB’s. They will continually be over drafted due to their value and scarcity. Not that a receiver shouldn’t go number 1. They just won’t.
as a lions fan Im hype that we traded up for Jameson and with the lions somewhat making up with Megatron maybe he will become a more main stay in the detroit training camps
I remember being stunned whenever the Raider didn't take MEGATRON! He was a lock, everyone knew it! He proved it! I remember thinking to myself that the Raiders must have known something about him and thinking it had to be off the field and back the so many athletes coming out of GA where into gang stuff I thought that might have been it! But Now they look even worse because if you have ever scene an interview or anything like that with Calvin and you can see he is an extremely mature well rounded individual a hard worker and a great team mate, Im a Raider fan so I guess Ill always be bitter about that 1. But again he was a lock for HOF from the beginning .
Well of course you can say that after the fact. It's like seeing the lottery numbers and saying "I knew I should of played that number"! You need to stop seeking social media attention and find a hobby.
If that is the same year of Jamarcus Russell… guy threw 70 yards on his knees… impressive … Unfortunately, if you are on your knees as a quarterback… the play is over … Good old Al Davis doing the picking back then
I think jamar chase really opened up the chances on a receiver going number 1 overall. Re uniting a star receiver with his college qb can do miracles for the team… wouldn’t be surprised if we see another receiver go number 1 overall soon.
@@bradley2060Caleb and his dad have been talking about possibly staying at usc for another year so if that happens it’s possible Harrison jr might go number 1
I played against Keyshawn Johnson Jr., the kid that Keyshawn was holding in the super bowl victory pic, in high school for the cif southern section championship. Let me just say, chip off the ol’ block. Kid was the best player on the team.
That Irving Fryar part was crazy; I forgot he played for the Patriots, I only really remember him for playing with the Dolphins and he was nasty. That drop in Nebraska though was demoralizing-I felt that!
Keyshawn definitely blew up at gruden because he had problems specifically with him, not because didn’t go to voluntary workouts in 2000 with the previous staff.
Calvin Johnson is my favorite receiver ever BUT his draft was very different from the 96 draft Russell was suppose to be a franchise QB coming out of college. In fact 96 is more like the 22 draft no popular QB's.
I’m just saying…that Fryar drop in the championship absolutely looked like it was on purpose. Might as well have said “Whoops 😜 “. Didnt even reach back to get it, just watched it drop to the ground and gave up on the play before it was over.
That dropped Nebraska pass was definitely sus just by looking at it. Like he barely was looking for the ball despite being wide open. Also it bounces off his hands and he makes zero attempt to grab it again not even so much a moving his hands.
Can you do a video on the evolution of football positions? Like super in depth! Why is flank not a position anymore, or why did split end change to wide receiver
As a life long fan of the position, this was solid. That ending, was incredible. I blurted out MEGATRON like some kind of dying Decepticon as the image revealed his name. Well done.
That's the thing. Even in the NFL you have guys who really don't work as hard as their peers and still put up good numbers because they are naturally gifted. Then you have someone like Jerry Rice who could have been good without working as hard but he put in the work and together that made him the best WR ever. Could Keyshawn have been as good as Jerry? Maybe, but he never put in the work.
@@panthersfan919 warren sapp said it as well. I've competed at high levels and yes you have to put in some work but some people have to put in more work than others to come out with the same production. Most people who haven't had to truly work hard think they have been working hard when they actually have been doing the minimum.
I feel like the only Wide receivers we could see drafted first overall in next couple years is JSN from Ohio state or Jordan Addison from Pitt but even then they’ll most likely go in the top 10-5 at best just because of how much the game has changed
JSN could go no.1 honestly, depending on who is picking, but I feel that QBs Stroud and Love will probably go 1 and 2. JSN is the best receiver I have ever watched in college, dude might drop 2k yards this year
The issue is not what position is most important but how rare or hard it is to find a game changer. Good backs and receivers can be found throughout the draft but quality qbs, de, tackles are much harder to find
I’ve never heard of Fryar before this video. Bro definitely dropped that National champ pass on purpose it literally smacked his hands and he pulls his hands apart 😂😂
He turned his head away before securing the catch for no reason. Why would he turn his head away, there was no one in front of him, he didn't have to run after the catch.
Terrell Owens basically had the career people thought Keyshawn Johnson was supposed to have. Keyshawn was very good but was never great. Plus he was a headache and then some. The juice was never worth the squeeze.
Tis the painful part about NFL parity: sometimes a generational talent gets drafted by one of the worst teams and never gets their chance for a Superbowl ring. Glad Megatron is a Hall of Famer!

@@Dr-Jan-itor #2 is still noteworthy so I thought he might got an honorable mention, which he essentially did lol
@@Magicdfox he isn't your boy
@@howdareyouexist great name/comment combo
You should do every Pitt qb taken in the draft. Bring that to a tier system.
My only complain with your videos, is there isn't enough of them. Great work my man, you make ESPN documentarys look bad you are so good.
Wonder what the NFL is like in the universe where Randy Moss stays in Oakland for 2007 and the Raiders take Calvin Johnson
Damn, in all my years of exploring alternate timelines in madden, this is an obvious one that I never thought of for some reason. That would have been special.
As a life-long Lions fan, I would like to thank the entire front office and staff of the 2007 Oakland Raiders for botching their pick.
And what a tragedy that such a great player wasted his entire career playing for such a mediocre franchise. JaMarcus Russel would have been far more fitting for the Lions 😆
And yall ruin an amazing career
Catching a TD from 19 different qbs is insane. That record won't be broken
I just love how the Raiders drafted Jamarcus Russel 1st ovr, a bust, to let a bust organization draft Megatron, a top 5 wr ever
One day I’ll tell my kids about Megatron getting double teamed at the LOS truly a special talent! And I’m a Steelers fan btw
great new video, appreciated that calvin got two clips at the end, he deserved it.
With the market for receivers booming, I could see this happening again in the next 5 years.
No way. The value is in the guys who throw the ball. Not catch it. College now running the spread offense with multiple receivers are producing talent deep into the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Not so much as we have seen with QB’s. They will continually be over drafted due to their value and scarcity. Not that a receiver shouldn’t go number 1. They just won’t.
Marvin Harrison Jr. might go
as a lions fan Im hype that we traded up for Jameson and with the lions somewhat making up with Megatron maybe he will become a more main stay in the detroit training camps
I remember being stunned whenever the Raider didn't take MEGATRON! He was a lock, everyone knew it! He proved it! I remember thinking to myself that the Raiders must have known something about him and thinking it had to be off the field and back the so many athletes coming out of GA where into gang stuff I thought that might have been it! But Now they look even worse because if you have ever scene an interview or anything like that with Calvin and you can see he is an extremely mature well rounded individual a hard worker and a great team mate, Im a Raider fan so I guess Ill always be bitter about that 1. But again he was a lock for HOF from the beginning .
Well of course you can say that after the fact. It's like seeing the lottery numbers and saying "I knew I should of played that number"! You need to stop seeking social media attention and find a hobby.
@@randlemarsh who pissed u off 😭
@@socgod3834 Todd vinegar 😂
If that is the same year of Jamarcus Russell… guy threw 70 yards on his knees… impressive …
Unfortunately, if you are on your knees as a quarterback… the play is over …
Good old Al Davis doing the picking back then
Thats rich, what do I owe for the life advice? BTW thanks for the attention.
Glad your uploading regularly. Thanks 🙏 thanks 😊
I think jamar chase really opened up the chances on a receiver going number 1 overall. Re uniting a star receiver with his college qb can do miracles for the team… wouldn’t be surprised if we see another receiver go number 1 overall soon.
Marvin Harrison JR? Unfortunately I think Caleb Williams will take it from him but he’s a special talent
@@bradley2060Caleb and his dad have been talking about possibly staying at usc for another year so if that happens it’s possible Harrison jr might go number 1
I played against Keyshawn Johnson Jr., the kid that Keyshawn was holding in the super bowl victory pic, in high school for the cif southern section championship. Let me just say, chip off the ol’ block. Kid was the best player on the team.
Your ending videos never disappoint.
I knew you were going to end the video with JaMarcus vs Megatron.
This is why KTO is amazing
Never heard of this Dave Parks. Seem like he'll fit perfectly in today's game
consistently the second best football video essays on youtube (sorry you know who the king is )
Randy Moss and Jerry Rice would be 1# pick if there was a redraft
That Irving Fryar part was crazy; I forgot he played for the Patriots, I only really remember him for playing with the Dolphins and he was nasty. That drop in Nebraska though was demoralizing-I felt that!
Keyshawn definitely blew up at gruden because he had problems specifically with him, not because didn’t go to voluntary workouts in 2000 with the previous staff.
That 1996 ESPN commercial was gold 😂
RIP Kobe and Stuart Scott 😢🤟🏾
Calvin Johnson is my favorite receiver ever BUT his draft was very different from the 96 draft Russell was suppose to be a franchise QB coming out of college.
In fact 96 is more like the 22 draft no popular QB's.
great video nice idea! also dope bc when it ended i immediatey binged megatron highlights
I’m just saying…that Fryar drop in the championship absolutely looked like it was on purpose. Might as well have said “Whoops 😜 “. Didnt even reach back to get it, just watched it drop to the ground and gave up on the play before it was over.
So grateful for the random Stu Scott interlude. Booya!
If Caleb williams suffers a major injury or comes back for another year of college, I can see Marvin Harrison JR going number 1 to the bears
your video style is addicting
That dropped Nebraska pass was definitely sus just by looking at it. Like he barely was looking for the ball despite being wide open. Also it bounces off his hands and he makes zero attempt to grab it again not even so much a moving his hands.
Can you do a video on the evolution of football positions? Like super in depth! Why is flank not a position anymore, or why did split end change to wide receiver
Idea: do a few videos talking about every college teams best player
That's a 200+ video series.
Great job! Great video!
Keyshawn Johnson was a good player hopefully he'll make it to the hall of fame
never gonna happen
hall of fame is for great
As a life long fan of the position, this was solid. That ending, was incredible. I blurted out MEGATRON like some kind of dying Decepticon as the image revealed his name. Well done.
Of course you find a way to put Jamarcus Russell in here
😭😭
Megatron always makes me smile
That's the thing. Even in the NFL you have guys who really don't work as hard as their peers and still put up good numbers because they are naturally gifted. Then you have someone like Jerry Rice who could have been good without working as hard but he put in the work and together that made him the best WR ever. Could Keyshawn have been as good as Jerry? Maybe, but he never put in the work.
saying that he never put in the work is just wrong
@@panthersfan919 warren sapp said it as well. I've competed at high levels and yes you have to put in some work but some people have to put in more work than others to come out with the same production. Most people who haven't had to truly work hard think they have been working hard when they actually have been doing the minimum.
Stuart Scott LEGEND. That commercial was ELITE.
Can you do all time positions for afc and nfc
Man keep up the great work. Your videos are always well put together.
I feel like the only Wide receivers we could see drafted first overall in next couple years is JSN from Ohio state or Jordan Addison from Pitt but even then they’ll most likely go in the top 10-5 at best just because of how much the game has changed
JSN could go no.1 honestly, depending on who is picking, but I feel that QBs Stroud and Love will probably go 1 and 2. JSN is the best receiver I have ever watched in college, dude might drop 2k yards this year
The issue is not what position is most important but how rare or hard it is to find a game changer. Good backs and receivers can be found throughout the draft but quality qbs, de, tackles are much harder to find
Keyshawn was a great WR for the jets with wayne cherebet
no he wasnt ...stop it
I’ve never heard of Fryar before this video. Bro definitely dropped that National champ pass on purpose it literally smacked his hands and he pulls his hands apart 😂😂
He turned his head away before securing the catch for no reason. Why would he turn his head away, there was no one in front of him, he didn't have to run after the catch.
This is why I find Keyshawn so hilarious when he digresses from a point during his show. He truly changed his entire public persona
That bit with Kenny mayne and Stuart scott was great. RIP Stu and Kobe
Keyshawn took a lot of flack for the “just give me the damn ball” and what happened with Gruden…but in the past few years he’s been vindicated!
Gruden being a pos doesn't excuse Keyshawn for being a pos also.
Keyshawn will never be vindicated. Keyshawn caused all Keyshawn's problems.
not really, he was still a diva
Excellent video!
Terrell Owens basically had the career people thought Keyshawn Johnson was supposed to have.
Keyshawn was very good but was never great. Plus he was a headache and then some. The juice was never worth the squeeze.
CANT EVEN MENTION TO AND KEY IN THE SAME BREATH....APPLE AND PASTA...TO IS GREAT...KEY NOT
Keyshawn Johnson was the "He Hate Me" LMAO seriously though he was Definitley a skilled player!
Fun fact: The average time for a receiver in the NFL is 2 years
Also, love how you read your comments. Most creators don’t
Really
Key was right about Gruden especially after all that came out this past year
Not really…
Key owes his ring to Gruden..
@@keep1t5imple5tupid *Dungy*
Gruden did nothing wrong
@@brandonj.harris nah Gruden cause he knew the Raiders playbook
Loved this video man! Great job.
Warren Sapp said it perfectly. Good player but selfish. Wanted everything about him
That Fryer Cornhusker drop required a closer look from the US Congress
That Kobe and Keyshawn commercial is awesome
I listen to Keyshawn every morning. I never got to see him play I was 1 when he was drafted.
Man all your videos just end so great!
Damn you make such amazing videos. And I love the end with music starts rolling. Gets me everytime!
The outro was legit! Nice job
That was a cool ending; and, it was a great video overall. Thanks for posting!
