Jarrett Bush. Was a liability on defense to start, but then became a solid special teams guy and got an interception in the Super Bowl.
Geronimo Allison, can’t explain why but his name popped into my head for some reason.
I feel that Tony Mandarich would fit this too but only if the picture were him in a Colts jersey.
James Starks
Bryan Bulaga allowed a league high 12 sacks his rookie year, I would say he ended better than just okay though
Edgar Bennett?
Jordan Love. Too soon? I kid I kid.
Probably won’t be liked due to technicality, but could Jordy be in this one? Started only 2 games in his first two seasons, played in 29 games, 55 receptions on 85 targets (64.7% catch rate), but for only 686 yards (366 yards his first season, 320 his second). 2 TDs per season
Last season with us played 15 games, 53 receptions for only 482 yards. 6 TDs. I say technicality as this was Rodgers collarbone injury season so he had Brett Hundley throwing to him most of the season.
But also yea not sure if it’s a “bad” start, and it also underplays how good he was from 2010 to 2016 (-2015 because ACL)
Nick Perry
Keith Jackson… big catches but came in with a really bad attitude and out of shape iirc
Nick Perry. Was a complete disappointment for a while but near the end was a perfectly average edge rusher
James Jones
Allen Lazard? It took him a while to finish okay. Other mention would be Sean Ryan but that’s a very now answer.
Bryan Bulaga, Bahk had the WORST starts. I remember being PISSED at those two for a lot of holdings/ sacks. That being said, has to be Nick Perry
Kyler Fackrell
Eddie lacy makes me sad.
Ty Montgomery
Andrew Quarless
Aaron Kampman
Nick Perry
Terrel Buckley
Jeff Janis — there is no one else
Atari Bigby
This is a fun thread. I’d like to give a thumbs up to whomever’s idea it was
Blake Martinez.
Started off a massive liability in the run game and in pass coverage, but ended up being a really solid LB in the run game and meh in coverage. Led the NFL in tackles a couple years.
Frank Zombo
James Jones. He had a ton of drops early then became very reliable tho not a #1 receiver.
Tramon Williams

Nick Perry?
MVS.
Started so bad but by the end he could at least catch the ball. Totally understand if it’s a reach to call him okay though lol
