NFL players that could have been great? (alien.top)

What player in the NFL, past or present, would you have wanted to see succeed so badly but due to injuries, off the field issues, or whatever happened just derailed their career? For me it was unfortunate to see players like Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon have their careers end or never getting back on track because of off-field issues.

I really feel bad for Dobbins. His talent and running style was perfect for Baltimore. It's hard for me to think of anyone else who's gotten fucked over that hard by injuries. His career basically never got started. And it's not like he's "injury prone" really. Just two brutal freak injuries. Hope he can pull a D'Onta Foreman and still find work somewhere eventually. But I feel bad knowing we only ever got a small sample of what he could do, and how much it could have added to those ravens teams.

I for one haven't given up on JK just yet. He's had some tough luck but he's still quite young. Also currently doing some manifesting with Aaron Rodgers. I bet he'll have one more chance with us next year on a team-friendly deal. Whether he is able to rehab his career in Baltimore or elsewhere, I'll be rooting for him.

His career YPC is 5.8. It really is sad.

Yea, when he was on the field he was so good. Those injuries just suck
