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.
Darren McFadden. Between a toe dislocation and recurrent turf toe, shoulder surgery, a meniscal tear, Lisfranc sprain, high ankle sprain, and hamstring issues, he only played 2 full seasons but still ended with a career 4.2 average including 2 seasons above 5
