[QUOTE="Spanky, post: 956817, member: 12367"] Russell Erxleben - Saints - 1979-1980 Erxleben was drafted in the first round (11th overall!) by the Saints after a stellar career at Texas as a punter and kicker. He was supposed to be the P/K and save a roster spot, but in his second game he pulled a hamstring and missed the rest of the season. Which meant the Saints had to add two players to their roster to replace him. Erxleben ended up being a failure as a kicker but he did punt for about 7 seasons. He is on a lot of lists as one of the worst first round picks in NFL history. He was drafted two spots before Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow.* Ouch! *Although I'm certain if Winslow had been drafted by the hapless Saints he would never have made the Hall of Fame. It was a huge benefit to be in Don Coryell's offensive system and have Dan Fouts throwing him the ball. [/QUOTE]
