They even did a 30 for 30 on him.

1) Amazing talent
2) He was an idiot (and lazy)
3) He was advised by greedy idiots (and listened to them)

He's driving a truck now, and hopefully he's content.

It's a shame that sometimes outrageous talent is wasted on stupid/lazy people.

My list is

NFL: R.Jay Sauer

NBA: Keith Lee (past) Darius Miles (past) Scottie Ryenolds

MLB: Jared Mitchell and Gerrit Cole

NHL: Louie LeBlanc (top 20 pick and got traded within a two years because he could not make above 3rd line in Minors)

You clearly dont get the point of Josh Gordon being mentioned. When wasted talent comes to mind, I immediately think of Josh Gordon. He has the TALENT to be better than all of those youve listed.

Edit: Also, who the hell lists TY Hilton over Antonio Brown?

Best in the World???

I can name atleast 5-6 guys I would take right now before Gordon


Thats great and all, but he led the league in receiving yards last year while only playing 14 games. So if you project that 14 to 16 it wouldve been the SECOND BEST SEASON EVER.

As it stands, it was only the 11th best season ever.

But you dont think he has the talent to be the best in the world? And you saying youd only take 5-6 guys ahead of him almost proves my point.
