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 think both Titus Young and Jahvid Best.

    Looked like Young was a rising star but had a ton of behavior issues apparently stemming from concussions. He was diagnosed with being bipolar in 2013 and “Due to his personality changes, Young admitted he hears voices telling him to commit crimes, and it has been noted that he could have CTE due to multiple head traumas.” He was sentenced to 4 years in prison in 2017 but was released a year later.

    Jahvid Best and his concussions man. Dude was electric!
