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 think if we gave Darren McFadden a better offensive line to block for him he wouldn't have been injured so often and would have been a perennial all pro. he was absolutely electric in 2010 and the first half of 2011, but he could never stay fully healthy.
