Adding alcohol to a newly wealthy testosterone machine is a recipe for poor judgement about to happen.  The NFL has been educating it's young players for years, even holding seminars at the rookie symposium, specifically aimed at offering them guidance and advice on how to carry themselves in their new life roles.

This entire situation is a sad tragedy, for all involved.  The victim lost their life, the victims family lost a loved one, Henry Ruggs is essentially losing his life for his actions.  I suspect that in about 20 years, Henry Ruggs will have one of those speaking roles at the symposium, educating young men on how to not become a good example of a bad example.
