Every kid dreams about winning a Super Bowl. Some of the league’s greatest players of all-time never got to achieve the feat. Some players never even got to play in the playoffs.

how is Larry Fitzgerald not here.
Joe Thomas was a sad story then a year after he retired Browns where good. HE LOST A LOT OF WEIGHT AND LOOKS PHENOMENAL
That’s why I’m happy my Seahawks traded Wilson, even though it hursts. Also no offense Damian Lillard.
Matthew Stafford almost wasted until the swap to the Rams.
Thank God Stafford and Suh left Detroit.Not only would they have no rings,but the lions would have been on this list x4.
Damn Barry might just be the greatest RB of all time isn't talked about enough
You can add saquan to this list unless this year the Giants actually improve. Idk we'll see Giants fans have been waiting for over a decade for something other than getting spanked by the opposition
Two Lions in the thumbnail… Damn… That hurts 🤕
Joe Thomas, Calvin Johnson, Tony G, Don Mattingly
You can do a list of top 5 players that wasted their careers in Detroit.
The thing that really grinds my gears is hearing ignorant "he would be much, much better if [insert player name here] was playing for us", usual culprits being Patriots and Steelers fans (mainly cause I have the misfortune of listening to their constant drivel). What I take offense to is the sheer entitlement on display from these people, with absolute no regard to anything besides their own wants.
Joe Thomas could have demanded a trade to the Patriots and be Brady's blindside blocker, but from all accounts, the man is happy in Cleveland, even if the team is miserable. Megatron, all the trade proposals I have seen are super lopsided against the Lions simply cause of their reputation (talking acquiring Megatron for just a measly 6th or 7th round pick, cause LOLions).
As much as people want to see their fantasies become reality, the reality is that a lot of times, we never get what we want, and we have to just deal with it. A player can be great on one team, only to fizzle out on another due to poor scheme fits, development plateauing, or other unforeseen circumstances, such as injuries or office politics dragging the team down. Wanting a certain player on your team for no reason other than to flex and give your rivals a middle finger is peak entitlement.
P.S. Anyone saying the DeAndre Hopkins trade, I'll just say BOB was a stupid idiot who let his pride get in the way, nothing more.

Michigander here: I knew before clicking this video that both Megatron and Barry Sanders would be in it😭
Ready to see a lot of Lions players here. 😂
Megatron
I am praying my fave QB may finally have a coach and a team to back him up. That said, no doubt Gonzales is an all time great TE, Barry Sanders IS the greatest RB of all time and I was very surprised that your #1 was not Dan Marino. He definitely gets my vote for #1. Although I think Philip Rivers also got robbed by staying with the Chargers for 95 percent of his career.
Calvin Johnson was just built different
What about Tim Brown Charles Woodson never won anything with the Raiders
Brandon Marshall is one of da most underrated players in nfl history due to shitty quarterback play till he got Russell Wilson well pass his prime in 2018 🤦🏾♂️ due got cut before he got a chance to play in a playoff game which is sad 💯
Andre Johnson
Imma just throw in LaDainian Tomlinson for good measure as well.
Adrian Peterson should be in here too.
Might as well add Dan Marino as well with that logic
Try telling me my career was a waste when I have millions in the bank. Hahahahaha!
Damn watching this video makes me wonder how dirty the Browns did Mayfield.
The lions alone could have a top 5 of wasted talent
You forgot Larry Fitzgerald dude!…
Other players who wasted their careers on bad teams. Practically everyone who played on the Lions. And maybe on the Jets.
My favorite thing I ever heard Lawrence Taylor said once… you don't have to chase Barry Sanders eventually he'll come your way.
Amazing that the Detroit Lions had Barry Sanders, Matthew Stafford, and Calvin Johnson and didn't win one super bowl between them. Matthew Stafford got traded and immediately cashed in.. if that doesn't tell you that getting drafted by the lions kills all super bowl dreams immediately, I don't know what will. Pretty crazy. I feel sorry for Detroit fans lol
