In Jeremy Shockey's hometown of Ada, Oklahoma, a back alley brawl would stay in that alley; Dust yourself off and go on with your day. In New York, the same back alley brawl might as well have been a PPV prize fight. No matter how many people were present for the event, everyone would know the details by tomorrow morning. The attitude he brought from home didn't only make him stand out off the field. He was even more reckless on it. Something about these players from earlier eras, stats can't illustrate the way they played. Some say Shockey was Gronk before Gronk. He snagged on safeties and ran over linebackers. His hair hung out of his helmet like Billy the Kid. And he wore tats all over before it was accepted. Due to his look, dude always stood out. Due to his play, you had to take him seriously. Due to the way he talked in interviews, u either loved him or hated him, and everybody picked a side.

The year is 2018, and former NFL All-Pro Aldon Smith has had a really long day. So the 6'5", 280-pound man climbs under a car and falls asleep. A few years prior, he became the fastest player in league history to get 30 quarterback sacks. At this point, getting double-digit sacks was all but expected, but double-digit arrests…not so much. But when he steps onto that field, he casually records 11 tackles and a sack. This was after an alcohol filled five year hiatus. Aldon Smith has always been legitimately great on a football field. He's just never seemed to believe he was worth much off it. But he’s always believed the lie that he wasn’t worth much off it.

What happened to Andre Johnson? Andre Johnson is number 11 all-time when it comes to career receiving yards. But there’s something that separates him from every other player in the top 10. Unlike every other player that’s on this list, Dre’s the only one who never played with a single QB who made the Hall of Fame, won an MVP, or at least got a single first-team All-Pro. It’s hard to be an elite wide receiver without an elite QB or an elite scheme. Some guys are asked to go out there with neither. And while they might do well for a while. Almost none will ever feel the warmth of a Hall of Fame jacket. Almost none...

It's 2013, and Navaro Bowman is coming off his 2nd straight All-Pro season. His whole life, he’s built bonds through makeshift family, but he's finally decided to meet the real one. His sister takes him out to the spot where his father was shot. Then a man in a blue car drives right past. Navoro takes a long, hard look…cuz that was the man who killed his father. If you think losing 1 dad is bad, imagine…losing 3. Navarro Bowman has suffered his share of loss. But through loss comes strength, and through death comes life. Narrow Bowman played 7 seasons in the league; during that time, he was named to 4 All-Pro teams. Some saw him as the other linebacker with Patrick Willis, but Navarro was a beast in his own right. The injury blade cut down his prime. And the day he fell was a day of great mourning. But the warrior's bloodline remains intact. And the old patriarch has new battles to lead. His place in NFL history is unique. He's one of those who serve as a bridge between old school and new. A 3-down backer with range and power. A mixture of good instincts and bad intentions.

Recently, the football world received some devastating news. Chris Johnson — the man we all know as CJ2K — has been diagnosed with ALS. Before we dive into that, let’s retrace our steps a little bit. In March of 2015, a vehicle occupied by Chris Johnson stopped at a red light. A 2nd vehicle rolled up beside them and opened fire, filling Chris's vehicle with holes. The driver was killed in the shooting, while Chris was hit in the arm. But the shot was more serious than a typical flesh wound. There was severe nerve damage. It was so bad that Chris thought his career might be over. “I was contemplating retirement,” he said. “Knowing if I can't use this hand, I can’t play football no more. “So much pain. My hand was so f----d up. I couldn’t touch nothing. I couldn’t use nothing.” Chris eventually regained use of his hand and rushed for 814 yards in just 11 games. He’d play a few more seasons after this, and then he'd retire after a total of 10 seasons in the NFL. During that time, he made an All-Pro, 3 Pro Bowls, and led the NFL in rushing yards with his legendary 2000-yard season. He broke and still holds the yards-from-scrimmage record, and he also had 500 rec yards that year. In retirement Chris was enjoying his family, his kids, and his wife. Lifting up his daughter to blow out candles on her birthday cake, and working out and staying in solid dad shape. And after a lifetime of watching film, he’d taken an interest in scouting. So 2 years ago Chris had it all going for his post-football career. Taking care of the family and even looking into a second career. But then something changed. In 2025, Chris had a flashback. But not of his time on the field. "I first noticed weakness in my right hand," he said. "At first, it was little things like my grip didn't feel right and I wasn't as strong as I've always been." After a series of tests, a doctor told Chris that medication may extend his life but just by a few months. Then he gave advice that no one ever wants to hear from a doctor. He told Chris that he and his wife should get their affairs in order. ALS is a degenerative neurological disorder that shuts your body down piece by piece, eventually leading to complete paralysis, and as of now no cure has been found. In a cruel twist of fate, the fastest running back to ever play the position has developed one of the fastest-moving cases of ALS, as it typically takes 2-5 years to spread, but has left Chris almost completely paralyzed just one year after he noticed his first symptom. "It's continued to progress much faster than I ever imagined. I want people to understand just how quickly ALS can attack your body," he said. "Just over a year ago, I was picking up my 7-year-old daughter so she'd make a wish with her birthday cake. Today, I couldn't do that." "I can't even hold a cup if I try, and that's despite being diagnosed relatively early and doing everything we can, including participating in multiple experimental treatments," Chris Johnson said. Chris was once the most free man on any football field. Now he’ll likely be restricted inside his own body for the rest of his life, and that's gotta be so hard. Still, he's making these appearances and wanting to help others now and in the future of this disease.

In the 1982 NFL draft, Art Schlitcher was drafted 4th overall. Just like that, he was up by $500,000 overnight. Just 1 year later, he was writing bad checks, scamming friends, and stealing from his own dad. A man who’d once been given everything just couldn't stop taking, til nothing was left. His problems stemmed from a gambling habit. But we're talking something well beyond a few bad nights in Vegas. He gambled with his coach in college. With dangerous bookies. And eventually with other inmates in prison. He played quarterback the same way he lived his life. Every pass was more about the risk than it ever was the reward. He took a lot of chances, and he threw a lot of picks. But when he put it all together, man…the dude had talent. Some say there was a kind side to Art. And as desperately as I wanna believe that, his kindest acts always seemed to lead to his most evil ones…
