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.

Tarik Cohen. He was electric on the field with the Bears, but then he tore his ACL/MCL and fractured his tibia. Then after all that, on Instagram live he popped his Achilles. He was signed to the Panthers practice squad this year and they just put him on injured reserve. I really hope he makes it back. Loved watching him play.
