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 want to know how David Carr would have done if he didn’t get drafted by the expansion Texans.

How does he look/play if he isn’t sacked 76 times in his first year?

Not too much better. One knock of his was that he was a 9-5 qb and put too much emphasis on his life outside the nfl.

Same for Joey Harrington By the time he left Detroit he was too shell shocked to succeed elsewhere
