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.
As a huge Arkansas fan I was so stoked about the 2008 draft with THREE running backs drafted into the NFL.
They all fizzled out due to injury. I think McFadden would’ve done better anywhere else other than Oakland first off.
Felix Jones hamstring exploded everytime he got hit.
And Peyton Hillis had to exit before he became a vegetable.
I was so worried about Felix Jones when you guys drafted him
McFadden was one of the best college backs I’ve ever seen.
