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.

Shazier was the first one that came to mind. He was a pro bowl level ILB who could cover and we desperately needed that during the "Killer Bs" Era. We have spent every year since trying to find a stud LB and have not really had success.

Loved him as a buckeye. So sad.
