NFL Players Who Could Shed the 'Bust' Label in 2019

The 2019 NFL season could serve as a banner redemption arc for several so-called busts.

Those busts earned the label for a variety of reasons. Some face-planted as rookies right away. Others have simply failed to meet the expectations set by their place within a team's depth chart or the draft capital invested in them.

But changing factors always offer a chance to shed the label. New locales, new motivation, new coaches, simple progression or the improvement of factors surrounding a bust can help turn the tide.

Heading into 2019, these players could end up shedding the most-feared label in sports.
