My Take
Josh Gordon is the great what-if of his NFL generation, and that is exactly why I cannot look away. At 191 centimeters with the nickname Flash, he had a combination of size and acceleration that wide receivers are simply not supposed to have. From Houston's Lamar High School to Baylor to the Cleveland Browns via the 2012 supplemental draft, his path was never conventional, and neither was his eight-season career: brilliance interrupted, then stubbornly resumed. I find myself rooting for the comeback story even more than the highlight reel. Talent like his is rare; the persistence to keep returning is rarer still.
