A complete waste of a draft pick. Anyone could have seen the kid was not going to make it in the national felons league.....though he does have the resume for it.

Glad he is Canada’s problem now.
Maybe Kapernick will join him in Canada.

Evidently he’s smarter than Colin Kaepernick. Colin could play Canada and not worry about kneeling for the Star Spangled Banner.

Be honest. Even a Pet Rock is smarter than Colon Takeaknee.

Happy for him and wish him and the CFL the best. No more entertaining player in football. Left college two years too early or perhaps things could have been different.

What’s a tiger-cat? Something else only found in Canada?

Back in 1950, the Hamilton Tigers and Hamilton Wildcats merged.

Hamilton's first preseason game is on June 1.

You can guarantee that ESPN will carry that one instead of streaming it.

Apparently, it’s from a long ago merger between the Hamilton Tigers and the Cats, or something like that.
Go Stampeders!

Hamilton Tiger-Cats were formed when the Hamilton Tigers and the Hamilton Wildcats merged. Yeah. Tigers and Wildcats. CFL does not have a lot of imagination with nicknames. For years there were two teams nicknamed “rough riders”.

Mental health and addiction issues. Clear from his behavior in the NFL and perhaps before. Hope he straightens his life out. Redemption is available for us all if we choose to pursue it.

...also one of the most exciting players in college football history.

I agree - it was a blast watching Tex A@M games with Johnny M as QB. I wish him well and hope he succeeds. I believe that a person can grow and mature.

If I was the most famous player in Aggie history, I believe I would have behaved in much the same way when I was 19-20 years old...
