I still think it was Jarvis Jones as worse. I could see on tape he just hustled and was all effort, but no athleticism, even Gil Brandt trashed Jones. Artie Burns was all athleticism but no technique or discipline, although a lot of pundits had him highly ranked.

Trading up for Troy is a baller move.
I thought for sure that you would list Alonzo Jackson as the worst Colbert pick... and I think that position would have been reasonable.

Colin Holba. Not only did they take a Long Snapper that year, they took one who couldn't even win the job in camp! That was a terrible pick


Yep Golson just couldn't get through TC without a season ending injury. Bad luck, bad feet and ankles.
I am not sure Golson even made it through a single week of TC during his time here. He was always injured super early- he didn't last a single TC practice his first few years with the Steelers: https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.co...ining-camp-nfl

Freakishly bad luck.
