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.
Greg Cook.
And unfortunately looking like Tre’Davious White might be heading that way as well.
First four seasons:
All-rookie team 2017
Pro Bowl 2019 & 2020
First team All-Pro 2019 Second team 2020
Since: 21 of 51 games played:(
Came here to say Tre White
Greg Cook was my anwser too. My feeling is not many here will recognize the name.
The entire landscape of the NFL is potentially different if Cook doesn’t stay down given the West Coast Offense was created by Bill Walsh to cover up Greg’s replacement (Virgil Carter)'s deficiencies
