Looking at that list - remember Chip Vaughn and Stanley Arnoux

Came out of that vaunted wake forest Defense that was incredible, Chip Vaughn barely made it out of training camp and Arnoux lasted half a season on the active roster.

Yeah, whoever thunk up that brilliance should be kicked in the rump twice every Sunday. Just saying.

Vaunted Wake Forest Defense...

and if I recall the first pick in the draft went to seattle from wake forrest a linebacker. then some say who we drafted Vaughn or arnoux were just as good as the other one of them career halted with injuries. I will take the hammer if wrong I,m not going dig it up. just memories

Your correct

Seattle drafted Aaron Curry

When we drafted Arnoux, many analysts said we had drafted arguably the same level of player but much less appreciated than Curry was

Aaron Curry, Stanley Arnoux and Chip Vaughn all fizzled out!

That wake forest defense was lights out on athleticism.

Aaron Curry I think. "The most can't miss project in a decade" and guess what, he missed big time.

Odd too, both Chip Vaughan and Stanley Arnoux played nearly every snap at Wake Forest and never got hurt. They were iron men!

We draft them and Vaughn goes to IR in training camp and Arnoux goes to IR before his 2nd season and neither one rebounded.

Sometimes I just think we're snake bit.
