Reggie Bush JUST GOT PAID!!

[Battlelyon]

Bush had a few decent seasons with the Phins and one with the Lions, but considering the hype both got coming out of college. They both were kind of disappointments.

That said. I'll take Reggie's career for the ring. Though I'm sure Williams made more monetary-wise even including Reggie's 12 mill settlement.

It seems like the only good offensive players USC has produced is offensive lineman

Did the Rams own the stadium he got hurt in? if not you would think it would be the owner of the Stadium not the football team.

Tax payers owned the stadium

Yeah, there's Carson Palmer and that's about it far as QBs go. Marcus Allen and the Juice when it comes to RBs and Lynn Swann is really the only WR of note that comes to mind.

Ronnie Lott, Junior Seau, and Troy Polamalu all say hello.

Battelyon's post was about offensive players from SC. Ricky Bell just came to mind.

A grip of defensive players have come from SC and played in the NFL.

And most haven't do much in the NFL

 

[Manster7588]

Keyshawn was pretty good though.

I thought you were talking about USC football?

AD had a few good years with Cleveland, right? And Jonnie Morton was a good player for a minute with Det. Steve Smith won a ring with NYG.

 

[Breed]

Yeah, agreed. Some pretty big disappointments as well with Matt Leinart, Jarrett, and White.

Do you think USC holds some responsibility for not developing these players?

 

[Breed]

Keyshawn was pretty good though.

Yeah. Not near as good as he thought he was though.

 

[Breed]

Do you think USC holds some responsibility for not developing these players?

Nah, not really. Too many defensive players and OL in the NFL for that. Some of em were knuckleheads and I'd wouldn't be surprised if a lot of em were of the mindset that they could get by on talent alone and just found out they were wrong.

 

[Battlelyon]

Yeah. Not near as good as he thought he was though.

He is a better version of Sammy Watkins

 

[Breed]

He is a better version of Sammy Watkins

Really? Nah. Watkins has an asset, speed, KJ never possessed.

Keyshawn has been much more productive at this point of their respective careers

 

[Breed]

True. Watkins needs to put it all together.

Detroit selected Morton in the first round (21st overall pick) of the 1994 NFL Draft, and he played for the Lions from 1994 to 2001. He would go on to achieve an important secondary role on a deep Lions' receiving corps that also featured Pro Bowl flanker Herman Moore and veteranBrett Perriman. After learning the ropes as a rookie in 1994, Morton became Detroit's featured slot receiver in 1995 and a key contributor on special teams as a kickoff/punt returner. Morton was part of one of the most prolific offenses in Detroit history that year, as the Lions would rack up 436 total points (second highest in the NFL) and end up with ten victories - appearing in the playoffs for the third straight season. He contributed 44 receptions on that team for 590 yards and 8 touchdowns. Perhaps his most memorable game occurred that same season during a classic Thanksgiving Day game in Detroit against the Minnesota Vikings. Moore (127 yards), Perriman (153), and Johnnie Morton (102) all eclipsed the 100-yard receiving mark, and Hall of Fame running back Barry Sanders rushed for 138 yards, and quarterback Scott Mitchell passed for 410 yards in a 44-38 Lions' shootout victory.

After the departure of Perriman, Morton became more of a featured receiver in Detroit's offense in the ensuing years. His best season statistically was during the 1999 season when he had 80 receptions for 1129 yards on a surprising Lions team that made the playoffs that year, despite the unexpected retirement of Barry Sanders. All told, Morton finished his pro career with 624 receptions for 8719 yards and 43 touchdowns. He currently ranks third on Detroit's all-time list in both receptions and yards-receiving, with 469 and 6,499, respectively.
