Wrong, actually. Ki-Jana Carter ripped his knee to shreds on his first carry of his first pre-season game. He did not play at all his first year. He did play a few seasons beyond that, but his knee was never the same.
It's hard to tell if his career would have been a bust playing behind a terrible offensive line with little skill position help, but his "busting" can just as easily be attributed to injury as Emtman's.
