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.
Ricky Williams. Guys are on PEDs in high school football so you KNOW the NFL is rife with them, but hey no weed because it’ll damage sponsor revenue
Ricky Williams would be a hall of famer if he started his career today
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to see Ricky Williams called out.
And he had a better career that probably most people remember. 10,009 rushing yards and 66 TDs.
