Aaron Is An Nfl Star

If a person was asked about the name Randy Moss and its meaing to te NFL, might have replied with a stutter or even silence and a nod. The ultimate rookie, Randy Moss before the draft really seemed to have made a name for himself. As said before, he had earned a full athletic scholarship to The University of Notre Dame to play wide receiver, but unexpectedly due to Moss’s actions, it was stripped out from under his feet since he participated in a school brawl.(Notable Sports Figures) Although the fight was said to be racially motivated, it ended with his expulsion from the school and a 30

When he was drafted into the NBA by the Denver Nuggets, the players knew about his drug issue. Therefore, they tried to help him stay on a clean path to a drug free life. His teammates would all take turns staying with him and making sure he didn’t drink or do any drugs. He was clean for over a year, however, that was all erased after he was traded to the Boston Celtics because he relapsed again. While with The Boston Celtics, Chris used painkillers such as OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocent. He was released by the Boston Celtics because of a season ending knee injury. After he recovered from that injury, Chris went to play in Europe and Asia. There he would have dealers send packages of painkillers, so he would always have his drugs. However, he was caught using drugs and sent back to America. A few months later, in the parking lot of a Dunkin’ Donuts, Chris was found unconscious and was charged with possession of heroin and driving under the influence with a revoked license. Soon Chris started to purchase and use crystal meth. While under the influence of crystal meth, Chris overdosed and crashed his car into a utility pole. The paramedics on site at the accident said he was dead for thirty seconds.

Drugs are a part of everyday life. There are many professional athletes that have been charged with the offense of drug dealing or for holding a controlled substance. One athlete, Jamal Lewis, was charged with facilitating a drug deal over his cell phone (“Jamal Lewis enters plea in federal drug case” 2004), Lewis served his time in jail for 4 months and began his rehab to enter back into the NFL. Lewis said, "I made a mistake four years ago, when I was 20 years old, that I'm paying heavily for, which I have to suffer the consequences, which I'm willing to do", "But if nothing else, I hope that the kids that follow me and support me will choose their friends wisely and know what they have around them"(“Jamal Leis enters plea of federal drug case” 2004). Lewis clearly stated that he was a changed man and understood his consequences. Lewis was allowed back into the NFL. This decision to allow Lewis back into the NFL was proof of how society can oversee certain offenses on professional athletes. Another athlete that committed this offense was Travis Henry, who recently holds a contract with the Denver

Tom Brady was able to go from being an underdog to a champion, become the greatest quarterback to ever live, get past allegations, and become an influence in the 21st century. He was unwanted his whole life, but made his way up to the NFL. Everyone was skeptical of his abilities and if he really cheated, but through all of that he persevered. This is why Tom Brady was an influence in the 21st century not just for athletes but

The sister of Hernandez’s Fiancé was partying with Hernandez in North Attleboro, Massachusetts. Lloyd was last seen with Hernandez and two other men, Carlos Ortiz and Ernest Wallace, heading down the street from Hernandez’s home in a Nissan Altima. Security surveillance showed these men leaving around 2:30pm and from the industrial park they drove to, surveillance showed the Altima around 3:22am, neighbors called police reporting gunshots between 3:23 and 3:27am, and at 3:29 the Altima pulled into Hernandez’s driveway. This

He has had 2 concussions, a cervical neck injury, hand finger fracture, inguinal hip sprain, pedal achilles tear, and a pedal ankle sprain. All of those injuries could of ended his career if he didn’t treat it right. The main injuries that were kind of major was when he fractured his finger, broke his foot, and just had an injury a couple days ago injuring his lower leg. As if he had any more problems while playing football I don’t know.

Marshawn Lynch (as you saw in the last page) is my favorite football player. He plays for the Seattle Seahawks, he’s number 24 and is a running back. His numbers in rushing yards are amazing, he has over 9,000 yards just by running and 74 touchdowns. He has 9 receiving touchdowns with 1,900 yards. He is known as “Beast Mode,” for breaking many tackles and running through whoever’s in front of him. He got sponsored by the candy called skittles, he would eat them before his games, on the side lines, and even after the game. He loved them, and obviously they were his favorite candy Skittles realized this and decided to sponsor him. He retired May 21, 2016, at the age of 30.

Walter Payton, running back for the dominant 1985 Chicago Bears team that went 15-1 and won the Superbowl, is one of the best running backs in NFL history. Walter Payton was also known for his philanthropy off the field, earning him the nickname “Sweetness”. There is now an award given out every year called the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award, which recognizes players for their charitable contributions off the field as well as their excellence on the field. The last recipient of this award was Thomas Davis, a Carolina Panthers linebacker. Walter “Sweetness” Payton died in 1999 of cancer. He was one of the most influential athletes in history, not just due to his ability on the field, but also because of his persona. Stats, influence on the game, and persona off the field are how a player’s influence should be measured. The three most influential quarterbacks of the last twenty five years of the twentieth century are Warren Moon, Joe Montana, and Jim Kelly.

He never did anything to show off, he did it because he felt it was the right thing to do. One day, one of the teammates forgot to bring donuts for breakfast for the team, so his teammates tied him up to a goal post. When Pat got there, he knew that was wrong; so, Pat untied the guy. He didn’t do this to be the guy’s best friend; he did it because he knew it was the right thing to do. Another example of Pat’s selflessness is when he came home from war, he told everyone he wanted to stay home but he went back. He went back not because he wanted to, but because he “had” to since he made the commitment. He didn’t do what he wanted to, he did what needed be done. He never played well in football, so that he could earn his name in magazines; he played hard in games because he was passionate about football. He played football because he loved the sport, but loved playing it even more. It was highly noticeable that Pat was a very unselfish

“Brett Favre is one of the greatest quarterbacks in the history of professional football. You are judged by winning, and he’s won more games than any other quarterback who has ever played. But I will remember him just as well for being such a fierce competitor and outstanding leader. He was the face of the Packers and a great credit to our game. It was an honor to coach against him.”(Mike Shanahan, Denver Broncos Head Coach) Brett’s passion for the game, and winning history, together earned him the respect of the entire football nation. I am going to give you a summary of this incredible athlete’s life, covering both the ups and downs of his bumpy road to success. I am using factual

Every weekend Hernandez was hitting clubs with the wrong crowd not being responsible towards his NFL career and violating the rules in the book throughout the offseason. Taking illegal drug substance like everything was good and not being responsible about his career. Hernandez fell victim because of spending money on girls at the clubs and hanging around old childhood friends that wasn’t such creators in life. He was a big face to the National Football league so it comes to mind why he was doing all the wrong things out in the open to mess his name up and the bold print of the National Football League?

He is eventually cleared to play through court cases and relentless commitment by the school’s administration. In the midst of all the madness and all of the hype surrounding high school football in Texas, it is clear that there is no recognition of the importance of education. There is so much emphasis put into high school football in these communities like Odessa that athletes pour all of their hopes and dreams into it. Ultimately once these you athletes are eventually stripped of the game of football, their futures are jeopardized and their lives are irrevocably damaged. They are finally exposed to the real world more underprepared than ever. Fundamentally all that is left is a few memories of athletic stardom and still an inadequate education.

Tom Brady is widely considered to be one of the best athletes of today’s day and age, and thought of by many as possibly the best quarterback in NFL history. Numerous factors have led to his overall success in football over the past 20 or so years, but nothing has been as important as his own implicit personality structures. Brady has dealt with a lot of negative feedback ever since he started playing football; people telling him he wasn’t good enough to play or that he wasn’t tough enough to be a quarterback in the NFL. His whole career has been a balancing act of proving people wrong by continuing to surpass what was thought to be humanly possible on the field. He has clearly surpassed expectations on and off the field, because of this success it is acceptable to ask the question of how his personality has helped lead to his success in the NFL. Furthermore, Brady is clearly a person high in conscientiousness and self-control, therefore another question that could be debated is how would he cope with not being able to play the game he loves.

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Is a two time MVP, superbowl XLV champion and also a dedicated philanthropist. While not on the field Aaron Rodgers is an influential person in America because he has dedicated his time and effort for the greater good. Aaron Rodgers has helped many charities and organizations in his 9 years of playing in the NFL. He has participated in charities and organizations like, Raise Hope for Congo, Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer (MACC) fund, he teamed up with David Gruuber, an attorney, and made itsaaron.com to recongnize people that are making a difference in there comunity. But that's not all he does, Aaron's biggest contribution has been to the MACC Fund and, MACC is the Midwest

For instance, Philadelphia Eagles fans had mixed reactions with Vick's signing. Some supported him, and others were very upset. For example, the owner of a sandwich shop vowed to never serve Vick food (Vick). Vick didn’t let this bother him, because he just had to keep going. Also, protesters in Philadelphia didn't want the Eagles to sign quarterback Michael Vick, because he was a convicted felon (“Protester Again”). Vick new this and used it as fuel to work as hard as he could on and off the field to prove those people wrong. Vick wanted people to know that he was not only going to talk the talk, but he was going to walk the walk as well (Vick). One night, after Vick had a meeting with James Dubose, who was producing a documentary on him, a reporter/sports writer followed him onto the elevator. He asked Vick what he ate, if he had any drinks, and who he was talking to. He did this all to try to expose him violating his probation (Vick). Vick was disturbed by this, because it meant that some people hated him so much that they would go that far out of their way just to get rid of him. Andy Reid, the Eagles' coach at the time, took particular interest in Vick's recovery because he had two sons imprisoned in 2007 for drug abuse. He knew what it was like seeing all those men in prison throwing their lives away. Vick received advice and help from Coach
