Fryar entered the league out of Nebraska as the #1 pick of the draft super-gifted: 6 foot 200 pounds, freakish strength, cartoon-size hands and legitimate 4.3 speed.
Unfortunately, he was also a thug who took drugs and beat women, and he was stuck on a terrible New England team for 9 years, his entire physical prime, and put up weak numbers.
Then he found God and got traded, resurrecting his career in his 30s with the Dolphins and the Eagles, notching 5 1,000 yard seasons with both teams all after age 30 and ending his career in the top 10 in most categories. 5-time pro-bowler.
He was always durable and tough, and when his physical powers were at there zenith, he was an idiot on a bad team a and had no numbers.
This has extra relevance with Michael Irvin just being inducted.
Final Numbers for Fryar: 851 catches (10th alltime) 12,785 (10th alltime) both better than Michael Irvin's career numbers.
