Willie Guy

He was from Memphis and played QB in HS. He never quite made that transition from QB to WR. While some label him a bust I'm not so sure I can go that far. Sure, I'm well aware his career didn't live up to the expectations. However, the fact he even made it to Iowa is amazing. Due to eligibility issues, etc. it took him 2 years before he even practiced Iowa. That's a LONG time. I also believe he was graduated. That fact he persevered and overcame the obstacles he did to play football for Iowa is hardly the stuff of being a bust.

Very well said. Having lived in New England for two years now and not really enjoyed it, it makes me appreciate guys like Shonn Greene and (apparently) Willie Guy who hit some speed bumps and don't immediately star, but stick around Iowa anyway when they could have easily transferred home.
