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.

Aldon Smith. But he let off field troubles ruin his career.

He was actually pretty solid for us in that 2020 season after he had been out of the league 5 years. I’m surprised he didn’t make a roster after that.

NFL exec: Aldon, great job last year. We wanna offer you...

Aldon Smith: I'm going to blow up a daycare.

NFL exec: the best of luck with your next team.

Sounds like he's just a big Gene Hackman fan...
