25 Young NFL Players Who We Already Know Are Busts


Jordan Love ( 26th pick 2020, Green Bay )

Nobody knows the exact reason why the Packers decided to use a first-round pick on a QB with Aaron Rodgers still firmly in his prime. Maybe the team was trying to conjure up the same sort of magic the conjured after selecting a 22-year-old Rodgers with a three-time MVP Brett Favre still on the roster. There’s certainly an argument to be made that it lit a fire under Rodgers who is on his way to securing a second-straight MVP trophy.

Clyde Edwards-Helare ( 32nd pick 2020, Kansas City )

The Chiefs surprised everyone when they made Edwards-Helaire the first running back taken in the 2020 NFL Draft. Many pundits expected him to have a large role for the Chiefs. In 13 games, Edwards-Helaire totaled 1,100 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns. Those numbers look good overall, but his production dwindled towards the end of the year – and took a significant hit once former Steeler RB Le’Veon Bell joined the team and he is also very injury prone.

Career Stats: G: 22, Rush Attempts: 300, Yds: 1,320, Yards Average: 4.3, TD: 8


Daniel Jones ( 6th pick 2019, Giants )

The Giants shocked everyone on draft night when they confidently selected Daniel Jones sixth overall after neglecting the quarterback position the year prior. Jones was selected as Eli Manning’s successor, and wasted little time taking over the starting role from the two-time Super Bowl winner. Jones joined an offense featuring multiple playmakers, and showed promise despite having a tendency to turn the ball over. Year 2 was rocky, at best, but Jones’ backers pointed to the lack of WR options and the injury to RB Saquon Barkley as a main reason for the QB’s regression.

Career Stats: G: 38, Team Record When Started: 12-25-0, Comp%: 64.3, Yds: 8398, Yds Average: 6.6, TD: 45, Int: 29


Baker Mayfield ( 1st pick 2018, Browns )

Baker Mayfield has shown flashes of being a competent NFL quarterback. He set the rookie record for touchdowns (27) after starting the season as a backup. Following a down sophomore season, Mayfield responded well in Year 3 with a 26-TD, 8-INT campaign that culminated in Cleveland’s first playoff victory since 1994. Still, there were plenty of questions the former No. 1 overall pick needed to answer in terms of his potential as a franchise-leading QB.

Career Stats: G: 60, Team Record When Started: 29-30-0, Comp%: 61.5, Yds: 14125, Yds Avg: 7.3, TD: 92, Int: 56


Tua Tagovailoa ( 5th pick 2020, Dolphins )

Year 1 was shaky for Tua who was in and out of the lineup. He made his first official start in Week 7, but was taken out mid-game on several occassions throughout the season in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Rookies tend to be inaccurate, and Tua was no different. Tagovailoa also made it known that he didn’t have a great grasp on the team’s playbook last year – not a great sign for a player who is supposedly your franchise cornerstone. So obviously he is very injury prone.

Achievements: none

Career Stats: G: 23, Team Record When Started: 13-8-0, Comp%: 66.2, Yds: 4467, Yds Avg: 6.8, TD: 27, INT: 15
