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.

This will be a wild answer based on everyone else’s in here, but Johnny Manziel with no addictions and a good coach that didn’t hate him for being a lazy shithead would’ve had a great career. When he got drafted he was considered small but in the last decade a lot of teams have moved to smaller QBs with mobility. He’d be a pro bowl player in this years NFL if he actually focused on playing

Or if Manziel just wasn't a lazy shithead maybe things would've worked out for him
