Honey Badger A Miracle Don’t know if I’ve ever seen this

Can anyone else name a player who overcame more

I love the badger, but all of his struggles at lsu were self inflicted, and I think he would tell you that.

Which makes my point. Never blamed LSU or anyone that I know of
He was as a 18 yr old kid when Honey Badger was born
He’s admitted it was a lot

Patrick Peterson deserves a lot of credit. Great mentor and man.

I wouldn't equate getting thrown off your team for continuing to smoke weed with someone losing their parents or having a devastating injury that they came back from

I know what you’re saying, but he had more than his fair share of serious childhood trauma, then some pretty gnarly knee injuries when he went pro that he had to battle back from. And he kinda did lose his parents.

He was kicked off smoking some weed, complete bullshite. Never should even have been tested

Bingo. Thibodeaux doesn’t know what he is talking about. His father was in prison. His mother was absent due to drug addiction. Raised by grandparents till the grandfather died. Then taken in by his aunt and uncle. Tore both of his ACLs in the pros and still came back and played at an all pro level both times.

He was kicked off the team for smoking weed. I guarantee you there were positive cannabis tests swept under the rug by many programs at that time. Tim Williams from U high went to Alabama and joked about how many drug tests he had failed but never got suspended.

Tyrann Mathieu is the best defensive player in LSU history and has overcome more in this lifetime than most people realize. Not all of his problems were “self inflicted “.

The worst thing he ever did was just smoke pot right?

Randy Shannon. He grew up in the absolute shittiest of all the shitty hoods in Miami. When he was 3 years old, his father was murdered. His older twin brothers, who became addicted to crack when Shannon was 10, both died of AIDS, as did his older sister.

Yeah they were. I yelled at him about it at the time and I think he blocked me. He had SO MUCH POTENTIAL and he was setting it on fire. Patrick Peterson and his dad are saints for saving that guy.

after being warned repeatedly but I also hold him in high esteem if the powers be thinks that he deserves a position let it happen
