Quote Aaron Curry had big things in store when he was taken by the Seahawks with the fourth pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. In fact, he was as close to a guarantee as there was, as several experts pointed to him as the “safest” option in that draft http://msn.foxsports.com/lacesout/draft-bust-aaron-curry-decides-to-retire-at-age-27/ Title: Re: NFL Draft Bust Retires at Age 27 Post by: XBAMA on August 28, 2013, 06:15:42 PM Just don't call him Tater Salad. Signed, Ron White. :clap: :lol2:

Title: Re: NFL Draft Bust Retires at Age 27 Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 28, 2013, 07:22:57 PM Here's a rundown on Curry.
Quote As a freshman in 2005 he started 10 of 11 games and was the teams fifth leading tackler with 39. After his great season he was named second team Freshman All-American and ACC All-Freshman Team by the Sporting News. As a sophomore in 2006 he started all 14 games at outside linebacker, finishing second on the team in tackles with 83. Curry's breakout season came as a junior in 2007. During the season he tied the NCAA record for the most interception returns for touchdown in a season by a linebacker with three.[6] He also broke the school record with 226 interception return yards. He finished the season second on the team and 13th in the ACC in tackles with 99, and earned Second team All-ACC honors and second team All-America honors from CollegeSportsReport.com. Curry seriously considered entering the 2008 NFL Draft to provide for his family, but later chose to return.[7] In his senior season he had 105 tackles, including 16 for a loss, and was the winner of the Butkus Award. Curry was also selected an All-American by ESPN, Pro Football Weekly, and Sports Illustrated. Curry graduated in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in sociology.[4] Title: Re: NFL Draft Bust Retires at Age 27 Post by: pmull on August 28, 2013, 08:46:55 PM I never heard of him so I looked him up. He played at Wake Forest. He was the Butkus Award winner and the # 4 pick in the 2009 draft.
