(S22) - PT3 - Boom or Bust

[dahayn]

My proposal for the biggest bust I could find in five minutes of searching was Ryan Lefevre drafted by the Colorado Yeti in the season seven National Simulation Football League draft. He was picked up with the fifth overall pick as a linebacker out of Texas Christian University. I say he is a bust because first of all, he was the first linebacker drafted that year and he stopped all training after he got drafted. He didn't earn a single TPE. The second reason I claim he's the biggest bust is because future Hall of Fame linebacker Mason Brown was still available to be picked. Mason Brown went on to achieve many accomplishments and accolades in the years following this draft. Brown was a part of the Ultimini winning team the Portland Pythons in 2022. He was the defensive player of the game in that Ultimini win. The first year he played in the NSFL for the Orange County Otters, he won the Defensive Rookie of the Year. That same year Mason Brown was also selected to the 2023 pro-bowl. The next year in 2024, Mason Brown was selected as linebacker of the year, breakout player of the year, and back to the 2024 pro-bowl. Moving down the years, Brown made 9 consecutive Pro Bowls and eventually was inducted into the Hall of Fame. What a great player the Yeti could have picked up, but instead they got an IA bust.
