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.

Yea this should be much higher ( no pun intended).While a lot of his problems were his own doing the leagues approach did more harm than good and was extreme. The guy needed help but all he got was punishment. The Browns as an organization didn't help either. A damn shame we never got to see what he could fully become.

Idk what they could've done without further enabling it. One of those situations where the guy won't actually work on it till he's hit rock bottom.
