The first overall pick of the 2000 NFL Draft, Courtney Brown is one of the biggest busts in recent years. A defensive end picked by the Cleveland Browns, Brown has just 17 sacks in five seasons and has finished each of the past four seasons on injured reserve.
But because of the mostly terrible, mostly all-black defensesin the NFL, and because of how the Caste System works, there was a huge scramble by at least four teams to sign Brown after he was released by Cleveland. The Broncos ended up landing the "prize" free agent.
When you're black and touted in the NFL, it doesn't matter how many years you underperform, therewill always be excitement and high expectations at the mere sound of your name.
