i know you are talking about the heart condition but he had other injuries that shortened his years with the Lions.

2014 is the main year I'm thinking about. He missed like half of the season and it had to be a big reason they let him walk and he signed with the Rams.

he did good in between his rookie and his last year with the Lions. Basically 2 below par years and 2 good ones. I remember thinking him and Suh were going to terrorize teams for years to come but that clearly did not work out.

Fairley was a good player but he was prone to some dumb penalties also. In the Chiefs game in 2016 he made a bad foul late in the game that helped keep the ball with the Chiefs and then they ran out the clock.

I honestly was nervous when he first signed with New Orleans cause he was close to home and he'd been in trouble early in his career (both incidents in hometown). But I guess he wised up and that stuff isn't an issue anymore. Hopefully he find a niche some where and he doesn't screw off and blow all of his money.
