OBJ released

Guy was a superstar in the making after “the catch”

Had a couple of good seasons and produced a oot of great highlights when he was with the Giants but has bounced around since.

Would you say he achieved his full potential in the NFL? I think he could have been one of the greats but didn’t have the right mentality/attitude. Too many distractions.

Tons of bad decisions,but he garnered enough money and notoriety to overcome all of them. I’d consider him a huge success. Needs to hookup with Ocho and his podcasting crew.

he had more than a couple of good seasons. He was an elite NFL WR from 2014-2019. Then, injuries derailed his career

Ring chasing phase of his career.
Got 1 with Rams

Short time with Ravens & just got released by Dolphins to go to a SB contender most likely

He had 2 catches for 52 yards and a TD in the SB before he tore his ACL early 2nd quarter. He would have had game MVP like numbers if that doesn't happen.

Age is main thing
NFL is a short window

Jarvis Landry was in same class and he's been out of the league for a couple of years now

Look at Michael Thomas from Saints

Here we go with this shite...

OBJ has played 10 years in the NFL, has made 100+ million, and won a Super Bowl. I think life worked out just well for him.

You are trying to hard here, He got INJURED, that is 95% of his "problem".. what are your thoughts on Bo Jackson ? you think he could have been one of the greats with a better attitude & mentality ??

I don't really understand the expectations from some folks. He's had a superstar career. What's above that?

No it wasn’t distractions. No it wasn’t his attitude. Where do you idiots come from????


It’s called too many serious injuries and getting older. Good Grief!!

Money corrupts your life.
As far as football career, father time is still undefeated.

His career didn't live up to Jerry Rice, therefore he was a failure.
