the eagles really screwed up picking him over chad johnson man i guess he was good in college but one of the biggest busts in history he cant even make the arena league these days

It's cool - he was great before he broke his leg. This was his first college game ever. Threw a TD. Caught a long TD. Ran a reverse for 30 yards. All as a Freshman.

Then the next week his femur got snapped on the opening kickoff (that he returned 50 yards).

He lost a step after that, but was a baller in college.

lol he had so much talent in college it was frightening.

what a shame he was as much a prick in the nfl as mcnown was.

Hollywood Freddie was a great player at UCLA.. especially his senior year..

@SeanPreis1294 We also picked him over TJ Houshmanzadah, Chris Chambers, Steve Smith, AND Reggie Wayne.

@phillyeagles217 what happens to alot of great college players that become bust he either tought he would still be able to do what he did in college in the nfl level and didn't adjust to that level or injury and I think it's the first thing

[phillyeagles217]

the fuck happened to Fred Ex? he was amazing in college

[georgewbushpresident]

Fred-Ex the legend

[RdotBeauCHAMP]

its funny how he callled out Rodney harrison saying that he's gonna beast him in the SB

but freddie only had one catch the whole game

while harrison had 2 PICKS

Damn, it's a shame to hear things like that when a injury is so severe it slows you down. It happened to Mitchell and numerous other players. You just know that they will never be as good as they once were...

He was, now he's back in his hometown of Lakeland, Florida running a BBQ resturant.

that was the game at Hosuton, where the Houston coach at that time made some very sarcastic comments about mitchell breaking his leg.If I rmemebr the field at Houston at that time was awful and this douchebag "born again christian" football coach made some really shitty commenst about UCLA also. The guy at Houston now would never make such classles statements

[papabowden]

well i don't know about that
