He lasted for 11+ years in the NFL as a part time starter / backup. Yes, he had a couple of really bad years due to injuries around 2011, but he picked himself up, recovered, and had some serviceable years.
I simply disagree with NEPA Irish's assessment. While he wasn't the big time NFL Pro Bowl player I thought he could be, to have survived that long in the NFL excludes one from being a bust.
On a side note, Ryan Harris started as a true freshman in 2003 about midway through the year.
Willingham mis-managed the OL so much, that Harris was the best man to step in, even though he was playing offensive tackle at 255 lbs (and that was being generous).
