There are plenty of busts, but these are the bloomers.

It’s not often that mediocre production in college translates to monster output at the NFL level, but it does happen.

This isn’t to say these players weren’t good in college, and this doesn’t capture all the players who fit this criteria. Still, when we looked back at NFL drafts since the turn of the century, these five players have stood out for shining in the NFL significantly brighter than they did in college.

WR ODELL BECKHAM JR.

He’s only played two NFL seasons, but the New York Giants receiver can already make a case for being the best receiver in the world. He’s just that good. Of course, plenty is expected of any player that gets taken 12th overall in the NFL Draft, but the LSU product is a week-to-week wonder.

Consider this: Beckham broke Randy Moss’ all-time NFL record for receiving yards in a player’s first two seasons in the league. Beckham posted 2,744 while Moss had 2,726.

Don’t get it twisted. Beckham was good in Baton Rouge. However, he had one 1,000-yard season where he caught 59 passes for 1,152 yards and 8 TDs as a senior. Beckham actually played one fewer game with the Giants as a rookie, and caught 91 passes for 1,305 yards and 12 TDs.

RB ARIAN FOSTER

He’s currently a free agent, but not for long. The former Houston Texans running back rushed for more than 1,000 yards in four of his first six NFL seasons. In 2010, he led the NFL in rushing yards (1,616) and yards from scrimmage (2,220).

Foster was the ultimate fantasy player for a long time, and his overly successful career in the NFL also seems like a bit of a fantasy. As a junior at Tennessee in 2007, Foster flashed his potential with 1,533 yards from scrimmage, but that was still only good for fourth-best in the SEC behind Darren McFadden, Percy Harvin and Knowshon Moreno.

The versatile back didn’t come close to that type of production as a senior and certainly didn’t as a freshman or sophomore. As a result, he went undrafted in 2009. Little did we know.

LB JUSTIN HOUSTON

The former Georgia linebacker was a force in college, but no one expected him to get the most lucrative contract by a linebacker in NFL history.

At Georgia, Houston did finish second in the SEC in tackles for loss in both his sophomore and junior seasons.

However, the third-round pick of the Kansas City Chiefs has defied all expectations in his five seasons at the next level. He notched double-digit sacks in three straight seasons from 2012-14, and in 2014, he fell one-half of a sack short of breaking Michael Strahan’s all-time single-season sack record of 22.5.

In Athens, Houston made 20 combined sacks in his three seasons.

In July 2015, the Chiefs signed Houston to a 6-year, $101 million deal, the biggest deal for a linebacker in NFL history and the richest deal Kansas City ever gave a player. His salary included $52.5 million in guaranteed money.

DT GENO ATKINS

Another former Bulldog has been a pleasant surprise for the Cincinnati Bengals since being drafted by the franchise in the fourth round in 2010.

Atkins has been named to the Pro Bowl in four of his six seasons so far and is fresh off one of his two campaigns as a first-team All-Pro. He’s been a rock in the middle for Cincinnati, appearing in 89 out of the possible 97 games in his six-year pro career.

The Fort Lauderdale, Fla., native had 42 tackles and 11 sacks in 2015, with that sack total matching his combined output in four seasons in Athens.

TE JASON WITTEN

The former Vol took off once he joined “America’s Team” and is now on track for the NFL Hall of Fame.

The third-round selection of the Dallas Cowboys in 2003 has recorded at least 700 receiving yards in 12 straight seasons. That’s a feat only matched by the great Tony Gonzalez. When comparing him to current NFL Hall of Fame tight ends, only the legendary Kellen Winslow averaged more receiving yards per game (61.8) than Witten has (54.2).

By the way, he’s the ultimate iron man. We already mentioned he was drafted in 2003. Well, he hasn’t missed a game since being sidelined for a few that season. Yes, he’s played in every game since.

Witten’s two most productive seasons in Knoxville saw him post a measly 28 catches, 293 yards with 2 TDs in 2001 before snagging 39 catches for 493 yards and 5 TDs in 2002.
