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.
Jamarcus Russell. Dude could have been great if he wasn’t so lazy.
Also Calvin Johnson - if only he wasn’t on the Lions.
