Speaking of Dale Carter... His son, Nigel Warrior is in this years draft. Probably be a priority FA with a shot at going late.
when are all of Derrick Tomas 50 kids showing up?

Ball was a no hit. Another guy who has rebounded well from his drinking issue.
Nah he is done. He is a motivational speaker now... Football nearly ruined him.

John Boyett, now a former member of the Broncos' practice squad, was arrested early Wednesday in Greenwood Village after police say he drunkenly head-butted and punched a cab driver, stole a shovel from a construction site then tried to hide from officers by covering himself in mulch, court records show.
Boyett, 24, told arresting officers to "contact his boss John Elway" before repeatedly slamming his head into a patrol car window while yelling and spitting, records say.
Agree on Chamberlain.. Actually, would say there are several players mentioned in here that were not one hit wonders, but I left it alone.
How about a player remembered for one thing only? And not his play on the field.
John Boyett, remember this story?
Tatum Bell was one of my favorite Broncos, and I know not a lot of people liked him. He was a threat to take it to the house everytime he had the ball in his hands. Sure, he didn't break tackles, he wasn't a 25 carry guy, he wasn't good at blocking... but he had a role.... He had a fumbling issue his rookie season but after that he really didn't have an issue. The guy averaged 5.7, 5.3, 5.3, 4.6 and 4.1 (Lions), per carry. Back when we had the combination of him and Mike Anderson together he was very good. I remember watching him do yardwork vs the Eagles and Patriots among many other teams during the 05 and 06 season. Guy could turn on the jets... He brought us back to victory against the Eagles, and ran all over the Patriots at a game I was at. He was a lot of fun. He could have some off weeks when the home run wasn't there. He wasn't fantastic but he was solid and fun.
When we traded him to the Lions for Dre' Bly things went downhill for him. He had predicted a 2,000 yard season and he went on to have under 200 yards after being inactive most of the season. He allegedly stole Rudi Johnson's duffle bag. I think he has a longer career if he doesn't steal from his teammate which is probably a death wish because nobody could trust him after. The Broncos brought him back late in the 2008 season because we had 5 RB's on IR.. and even Denver said "He was our only option", proving that the theft of the duffle bag really did his career in.... Almost like Denver had to have an excuse to sign him so the rest of the league knew he was their only option at that point. I remember as I saw Denver RBs go down that year I kept thinking.. Why are we not signing Tatum Bell?
He then came in and had a great final week of the season vs the Chargers on Sunday Night football. Averaged 5.7 yards per carry that year then was never signed to another team after. Nobody really wanted him after he stole from his teammate.
A lesson to other players, because although he played 5 years, had a 1,000 yard season and nearly had another 1,000 yard season, the NFL is a business and you can't steal from your teammates and people are just fine with it. This cost Bell a few more seasons in the NFL... Albert Connell stole from Deuce McAllister when he was with New Orleans and never saw another down in the NFL.. Almost like these guys could have hit a girl and been in a better position then stealing from their teammates.
When I think of Tatum Bell I can't help but think how much longer he could have possibly played had he just not stole from his teammate.. Someone would have wanted a home run hitter like him and the way he ended the 2008 season.. I think Denver would have re-signed him had they not felt backlash. He'd have been that perfect #2, change of pace, home run hitter that he proved he could be in the NFL under the Broncos.

When I was 24 I got off work tired I grabbed another doods lunch box I was so embarrassed it took me two days to bring it back. I always thought that they were harsh on Bell it might have been a mistake. he was a blast to watch.
My Bell of choice was Mike thank you very much.
Another guy who falls under. More remembered for something he did than his
