People party with athletes, take pictures, hit the bong with them... but because their community has some barrier from the real world, that stuff usually doesn't go public. It's more of a student life thing. But when you get to the NFL, that's out the window. There's web sites willing to pay for a picture of you partying with a first round quarterback. Even if there's no money involved, there's still that five seconds of fame for being the latest anonymous guy in a TMZ piece. And those people don't have the connection like the athlete's fellow college students or members of the organization.
Good point. He seems addicted to the campus lifestyle as much as anything else.
He's 3 years removed from College Station though. At this point he just looks like an entitled brat with zero self-awareness or empathy for any family/friends he may be hurting.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
