Really, the guy is pretty unlucky that the Chiefs drafted him. He wins the Walter Camp award, has a huge year his senior season at Penn State, has big things ahead of him in the NFL... then he gets picked by Carl as a backup plan or for bargaining leverage against Priest Holmes, against the objections of Dick Vermeil who didn't want him. He doesn't play, gets frustrated understandably. Then when a coach does decide to use him, he runs him into the ground and shortens his career.
Yeah, he made a lot of problems for himself but you can't help but wonder what might have been if he'd been drafted by a team that was serious about him.
