He was having a very good rookie year before blowing out his knee, and might still have been an effective DT if he hadn't then blown out his other knee, and then the first one again.
In FOF terms, I see Emtman as a guy that lost his green and red bars after significant injuries, not because multiple training camps revealed he was severely over-rated.

I agree with this
Leaf was a bust because he was a knucklehead, Madrich was a roid monster and Ware, etc were mostly simply overrated.
Emtman is a bust because he didn't turn into a perennial all-pro the way top5 picks are suppose to, but not because of lack of work ethic - more thorough bad luck of injuries.
