Tyrann Mathieu.

Went from the classic case of wasted potential and throwing away his future to Super Bowl champion, possible HOFer, and more importantly a role model and someone who has given back to his community as well as the school who kicked him out.

The guy was carried by his defense, just playing within himself. He didn’t really get the reputation as elite QB until he started slinging it with Moss, and then Gronk, and the rest is history.

Lance Armstrong

Randy Moss. He was viewed, even in his first couple seasons in the league, as a thug. Dude has become legit likable.

Ben Rothlisberger.

Kyrie has really salvaged some of his reputation in the last couple years

Mathieu is a great answer

Dale Earnhardt is a funny one because he went from being viewed as a complete a-hole to the most beloved driver of all time and never actually changed lol.

Alex Rodriguez
Do people like him, or hate him now?

Nobody believed anything he said when he was a player. He was a lot like Russell Wilson because he worried too much about what people thought about him.

Is he beloved now because of the T'wolves success?

Simone Biles

Lebron. His last 10 years have been nothing but showing his true hate for white people

Stephen Curry went from the most beloved athlete in the NBA in 2016 with his unanimous MVP, to being the most clowned after the 2016 Finals, to being the most hated after he & his team cried to KD in the Hamptons.

The hatred peaked in 2018 when that move ended up costing Harden & CP3 a legacy-defining ring. Speaking of, Harden also went from being viewed as a soft foul-baiter to an all-time SG who was robbed of a ring.
