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.

Ryan Shazier was a future HoF line backer. He was fucking nasty. Before he got hurt only Luke was at his level at MLB. Steelers defense immediately went to top 3 in the league with his breakout. They tried replacing him like every draft he was so impactful.
