We’ve seen players repeat the normal “I’ve learned and I’ve changed sentiments. There is no indication that he has, no reports of him seeking treatment, just his word. It will be interesting to see if he can stay out of trouble, hopefully for him and his career he can. Nobody wants to see a player lose their career and NFL dream to substance abuse.
