Who are the biggest fallers in the 2018 NFL Draft class?

We’re here to call some people out. These players either didn’t live up to big time hype or weren’t the players we thought they were at all going into the 2017 season.

Let’s have a look…

5. Bo Scarbrough, RB, Alabama

Heading into the 2017 season, perhaps no running back carried more mystique, more intrigue than Bo Scarbrough at Alabama.

The way the Crimson Tide churn out running backs, it was widely expected that — despite concerns in the durability department — the physical freak of nature Scarbrough would blossom into this year’s Heisman Trophy flavor of the season for Alabama.

Scarbrough has impressive measurables, and is obviously cut like a statue, but he’s failed to live up to the hype for me when it comes to his NFL prospects.

So far this season, Scarbrough has carried the ball 108 times with a respectable 5.1 yard per carry average, and eight touchdowns, but he’s not the game-changer we all expected.

To me, Scarbrough is a player that had some first or second round hype going into this season that will now be a day three flier pick.
