I disagree. It won't matter to the media what he does on the field. All that will matter to them is what he does off the field. He will become their poster child and they won't let the story drop anytime soon.
I think we agree what the reaction of most fans, players and coaches is likely to be.
Perhaps, but in the NFL, if you do not perform well, you will be cut from the team.
And if he is not on an NFL team, there will be no story.
