The guy people forgot, who was a HS draftee, was none other than Charlie Leigh. He was one of very few who made the NFL out of the Capital Region NYS, he went to Albany H.S. Charles Irving "Charlie" Leigh Sr. (October 29, 1945 – October 26, 2006) was a National Football League (NFL) running back. He was the first and only NFL player to be signed out of high school. He is best known for backing up Larry Csonka and returning kicks for the Miami Dolphins' back to back Super Bowl champions in the 1972 and 1973 seasons. He also played for the Cleveland Browns and Green Bay Packers. He played a total of six seasons in the NFL.[1]

I do not understand so-called, conservative people who seem to admire drug dealers. It makes no sense.

It's my understanding that Morris did his time, and learned from his mistakes. He later used his experience to help others turn away from drugs. Perhaps it's not his drug using that was admired, but his recovery and redemption.

As for me, I made many mistakes, and paid a price. I am grateful that I am not judged for my bad behavior alone, but am also respected for the good works I have accomplished after changing my ways.

Drug dealers are drug dealers, period. There is no grey area. There is only black and white, no pun intended.

The kinds of things which criminals do all start in the frontal lobe. When a criminal commits a criminal act then we already know that his/her frontal lobe is defective.
