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 don’t want to bag on him because he did have a solid career, but a fully engaged and motivated Bryant McKinnie could have been a generational talent at LT. The dude was a freak of nature. He had enough talent to get by on talent alone but didn’t have the drive to take his game to the next level.
The dude, as an olineman, placed 8th in Heisman voting. A fucking olineman. Dude was that dominant in college.
