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.

See the 30-for-30 on Marcus Dupree called "The Best That Never Was."

Dude had SO much potential in an era where running backs like him became legends... Emmett Smith, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson, Hershell Walker... he could have been at that level.
