    Who are some NFL players you either had doubts about or disliked for any reason that eventually won you over? And who did you have high hopes for that made you scream?

    Ill start.

    Cam Newton. Respected his game at Auburn, wasn't so sure about him as a franchise QB, but since he's come in to the NFL I've been a fan. What many thought to be a hooligan in college really turned it around in the pros.

    And a guy I loved in college that Im bummed blew it; Maurice Claret from Ohio St.

    Dez Bryant. I used to see him throwing a fit on the sidelines and it really turned me off. Then he was mic'd up one game and he was really just trying to get his team going.

    Willie Parker. It was championship week in fantasy football. I needed Willie Parker to get something like 3 points to win all the marbles. First carry of the game he loses two yards and breaks his leg. **** that guy.

    I was really rooting for the Longhorn WR I beleive the year after VY was drafted. I forget his name. Went to the Steelers.

    Just looked it up as I was posting,It was Limas Sweed.

    Edit: One player I wanted to fail was Tony Romo. Me and a buddy are BIG madden players. We used to play on PC back on Madden 06/07 time. My friend is a Boys fan. Bledsoe got injured one game and so did whoever the backup was. In comes Tony Romo. We were like who is this? Look at his stats, he didn't even have a single completion in the NFL. He became an occurring joke between us. Low and behold this guy becomes the face of the franchise.

    Won me over... Nobody jumps out.

    Disappointed me... Jane locker obviously...

    Another two... Joey Harrington and Tim couch. I would have bet money on those two succeeding. Couch especially. Those ariel duels with Manning in college were awesome.

    I thought Michael Vick was going to be electric, but now that his career is just about finished, I think it's safe to say he did not flourish and succeed the way I thought he would. I mean when we're kids and we see a type of player like Vick who has the flash and can bomb it as well as has the speed to burn you with his legs and is one of the fastest guys in the league, can anyone honestly say they weren't a fan of his coming out of college. Decent football QB, one of the greatest madden QB's of all time.

    Player who surprised me and won me over that I found myself rooting for is Tony Romo. I think he's the most underrated QB of all time. I can't count how many times I've heard people say if the Cowboys had a decent QB they would win the Superbowl. Cowboys fans don't realize what a gem Tony Romo is. I love how he always has haters and still finishes top 10 in every statistic that matters for QB. I always wanted to trade for Romo. Love him.

    My Cowboys fan friend is like that. Always pissed at Tony Romo. Complains how bad he is and that they need a better qb. Guess some people are so spoiled that a Top 10 qb just isn't enough these days.

    Hard for me to remember the ones that have disappointed me- I just forget them.

    Hated Manning in college. Won my respect as a player with his work ethic.

    Didn't like Marshawn Lynch at first and with Bills but liked him ever since he was "just about that action boss". I like his media shenanigans and how he runs.

    Cowboys did well by cutting his throws in half almost last year, Im not so sure he's underrated because they finally made the playoffs when his role was reduced...
