The 10 biggest FSU football NFL Draft busts of all time
No. 3 biggest FSU football NFL Draft bust of all time: Rashad Greene
2015 NFL Draft: Round 5, Pick 139
Jacksonville Jaguars, 2015–2018
Rashad Greene was spectacular at Florida State, ending up with the record for receptions and receiving yards and finishing No. 2 all-time in receiving touchdowns over his four years in Tallahassee.
That he was out of the NFL just three years after being drafted and took to the CFL in an effort to return — an effort that didn’t work out considering his 2021 retirement — shows how far the mighty Seminole receiving great fell in his short-lived pro football career on the Jacksonville Jaguars and Saskatchewan Roughriders.
No. 2 biggest FSU football NFL Draft bust of all time: Jamal Reynolds
2001 NFL Draft: Round 1, Pick 10
Green Bay Packers, 2001–2003
Cleveland Browns, 2004 (Did not make roster)
Jamal Reynolds had most thinking he was due for NFL stardom following a 2000 season at Florida State that saw him earn Unanimous All-American and First-team All-ACC as well as be named the Lombardi Award winner.
Instead, Reynolds missed the first 10 games of his rookie season and finished his three-year NFL career with 18 tackles and three sacks. Reynolds couldn’t make the Browns in 2004 coming off a 5-11 season and after being cut by Cleveland, the defensive end disappeared from the sport for good.
