Great article about Boyett

Post by greenyellow »

Bleacher Report has done a great article about John Boyett's legal troubles and alcoholism and his work to get back into the NFL.

Been thinking about JB lately so the article is timely for me. He was (is) a ferocious player. I wonder how he would be as a coach? I really hope he gets another chance and that the changes he has made are real and true.

Not a big fan of the veiled shots at the Oregon coaching staff regarding his knee issues. At least that is how I'm reading them but I could be completely off. I was also never a big fan of Boyett off the field in general so that is probably swaying my opinion on the article so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

Hopefully he is serious about his recovery and this isn't just a fluff piece organized by his agent or someone else vested in his success (see Lyerla, Colt).

D24- I have to agree with you about the veiled shots at the coaching staff. He could have left that out very easily. I also heard some things about him off the field that were less than flattering.

I do hope he is successful and continues his sobriety. I have to be honest and say he was never a favorite of mine but wish him the best.

The dude was a dickhead off the field. I had many run ins with him and not a single one was positive.

Consistent with what I heard. Also heard teammates didn't exactly love him.
