For this post, “tease” will be defined as “a player who showed enough flashes to give fans hope that he’d become at least a solid contributor (if not a star) only to end up being a major disappointment.”
For me, I’m going all the way back to QB Bobby Hoying in 1997, a mid-round draft pick who balled out in a shootout against Cincinnati and convinced quite a few of us that he could be the future. Given that our QBs at the time were Rodney Peete and Ty Detmer, Hoying looked so damn promising…only to flame out a season later (but hey, he stunk so much that we drafted Donovan McNabb, so thanks?).
