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.
That’s because he never played a full season. Part of the reason he agreed to play for the Raiders is that Al Davis promised that he could play baseball until that season wrapped, then join the team. A lot of people forget that Bo was drafted #1 by the Bucs, but he refused to play for them as they ruined his senior year of baseball eligibility. Al Davis drafted him in the 7th rd. the following year, and made the deal with him about baseball, so Bo agreed to play football.
