For everyone who has forgotten about the New England Patriot's second round draft pick (45th overall) in 2003, Bethel Johnson fell head first into two Super Bowl rings in his rookie and sophomore seasons. Here's a timeline of his professional football career:
2003 - Drafted 45th overall by the New England Patriots.
2003 - Won Super Bowl XXXVVIII with the New England Patriots
2004 - Won Super Bowl XXXIX with the New England patriots
2006 - Traded to the New Orleans Saints
2006 - Cut from the Saints before the regular season began after injuring his knee in a preseason game
2006 - Signed by the Minnesota Vikings in October, released as a free agent at the end of the season
2007 - Signed a one year contract with the Philadelphia Eagles. Released in June after he failed a physical.
2007 - Signed with the Houston Texans in June. Released in August and spent the season out of football.
2008 - Signed with the Toronto Argonauts in the CFL. Released in September due to lack of progress with only 16 catches and no touchdowns.
2008 to Present - Free Agent.
I've never witnessed someone's NFL career collapse so terribly after starting it off with two Super Bowl rings. Too bad him and Chad Jackson never got to play together because I would have so much more material to blog about.
