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 know he’s not liked (and for good reasons) and he kind of still had a good career? But I feel Anthonio Brown ruined his because of brain injury. The dude was one of the best if not the best for 4/5 years and I feel he could have gone on for 5 to 6 more.
AB gets fringe HOF chatter even now. If he’d kept his shit together for a few more years, he could’ve been a lock.
I have no sympathy, though. He clearly needs mental health help but I lose sympathy when you start endangering other people.
Oh yeah if he kept his shit together he would’ve 100% been a lock. Dude was unstoppable in pitsburg. You could argue he was the best in the NFL and that was in a time when megatron played.
That Vontaze Burfict hit ruined him. Burfict deserves jail time for how dirty of a player he was.
