NFL players that could have been great? (alien.top)

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.

Sam Bradford's body failed him. Dude was immensely talented and a pretty smart QB. No reason he couldn't have done much more with a real supporting cast as a youngin and better injury luck throughout

STL native and saw a lot of his early Rams games. The dude was actually a very good football player but the injuries mounted and years of bad o line play did him no favors. I have no doubt he’d be wrapping up a terrific career these days if he still played.
