one of the biggest first round flops ever.

Think about it. Every team coveted cleveland getting him. We did. Yes yes some of you wanted the one cincy took.

But then he goes to a ****** team that he could really shine on right away. And CLEVELAND dumps him.

He gets a second chance and comes to a more winning team with a need . The steelers release him in the off season . Now a 4 game suspension, which means there was more than one screw up, and the Steelers had to have seen the writing on the wall. IMO this guy is done and never to be seen again.

So, he was taking performance enhancing drugs and still couldn't beat out, Burns, **** or Gay? His "pharmacist" owes him a refund.

Pissing the dream away. No empathy at all.

between $2 short & ten buck two
I thinkl with the time on his hands, he should reflect and read up on several player's life's, like Ryan Leaf / bam Morris/ just to name a few......... Maybe Phil Jackson could take him in and show him the "zin" way....... Some of these athlete have never had to grow up. There are told all their young lives how good they are / how great they are / can do no wrong / etc.. Then when they are held accountable they don't know how to be that as they never have been that their entire young lives. Add in the money $$$$$$$ and you have a ripe recipee for failure. Good luck to him in his "LIFE's WORK" mode of his life.

Had high hopes for this kid, alas he just doesn't have any heart.

We'll never see him in the NFL again. Total bust. And a waste of a sixth round pick, I might add. Maybe he'll catch on in the CFL though, eh?
