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'll add a couple more

Odell Thurman - dude was all world in his only year in the NFL, looked like the next elite LB and never played another season because he was stupid.

David Pollack - looked like he was a pure playmaker after his rookie year. He was very good in the playoff game against the steelers. Gets a bone in his neck broken first game of his second season, never plays a down again.

We lost two great defenders at the same time of Palmer's injury, that felt like a curse
