Who'll be the top bust of the 2010 Draft? Only time will tell. In the meantime, here's a look at some of the top busts of the modern era, beginning with Bosworth, who won the Butkus Award twice at Oklahoma before the Seahawks selected him in the 1987 supplemental draft and signed him to a 10-year, $11 million deal. With his funky haircuts and his "Boz" attitude, he was supposed to redefine the linebacker position. But injuries limited him to a disappointing three-year career. The NFL's loss was Hollywood's gain. Bosworth delivered a subtle and moving performance in Stone Cold and appeared in the remake of The Longest Yard.
