(S22) - PT3 - Boom or Bust

[TomHanks]

The biggest draft bust of all time is someone who is a good guy and in no way intentionally hurt their franchise, but was a massive setback. That person is Brock Landers, formerly of the Arizona Outlaws. The S15 NSFL draft was one of the most important in league history, as it was the first truly giant class since season 2. Teams built their dynasties on that draft. Yellowknife wouldn’t be nearly as dominant as they are now had they not nailed that draft. Which brings me to Landers. Brock was the somewhat surprising first overall pick in the S15 draft. He arrived to the league quite late and fell a long way in the DSFL draft. Between his consistent earning once he was active, his league involvement, and some fantastic interviews, he raised his draft stock to the highest in the league, at least for the Outlaws. Unfortunately, life got in the way for the user behind Landers, and the QB turned WR went IA shortly after becoming co-GM of the Outlaws, leaving Arizona’s GM without a partner, and without their first round pick in a critical draft. Due to this inactivity, Landers never broke out or had much of a career beyond being a depth piece for growing QBs. That is why he’s the biggest bust of all time.
