There are players in the NFL who are arrested, who violate the program when it comes to drugs or substance abuse, and they are not punished as seriously as he has been, |
There are the intangibles when you pick a guy in the draft because (a team) is accountable for that player. Whoever takes Eric is going to sleep at night not worrying about how this is going to look on their track record. |
