Takeo Spikes

The great Auburn linebacker wreaked havok on the SEC during his time there. He was Mr. Football for his home state in High School and highly coveted as a recruit. He ended up being a first round draft pick by the Bengals and drastically improved their defense. He played out his contract in Cincinati and signed with Buffalo, and started their for 3-4 years. He's now roaming the middle for the Eagles...and still plays solid, if not very well.

So here's the rub. Every team he goes to gets worse after he gets there...and then when he leaves they get better.

Coincidence? Or, is Takeo Spikes an unheralded cancer of sorts?
