Comment on the off-field behavior of athletes and how it affects their opportunities in the NFL.
Clearly Mr. Carrington has serious personal issues....drugs, alcohol and anger management to name three.  He's an extremely talented young man with skills which could take him to the NFL.  However, there are scores of young men today with those same skills AND without those off-field issues.  So many NFL teams have been burned by signing recruits with those off-field issues that they have become far more careful...Who can blame them.  We could field a team...an outstanding "fantasy" team of U of O players who have "flamed out" because of off-field issues.  That's very very sad.  College athletics gives these young men and women a wonderful opportunity.....play a sport they love; get a free college education, have a very slight opportunity at the pro level (about a 1% shot), get a degree and, pro or not, have a better life.  ..smoke a little ganga, have a few beers and drive, get $#%ed off at some guy and knock him down..essentially be "stupid" and blow it all.  such a waste..
