He overhyped himself then got fucked up in the NFL, and now got fucked up outside of the NFL.

Yea. I don't think he's gonna last too long in the NFL. He's not made out for it
"If there were no eternal consciousness in a man, if at the bottom of everything there were only a wild ferment, a power that twisting in dark passions produced everything great or inconsequential; if an unfathomable insatiable emptiness lay hid beneath everything, what would life be but despair?"

....Well, you went too far with "he's not made out for it" Maybe you don't know who he is. His dad was a great NFL tight end, and he was great at Miami, which is the best football factory around. He has all the tools nessicary to be great in the NFL, with the exception of his mouth.

The mouth is cool, the attitude is what suxxx, now he can safely assume that thanks to this little motorcycle accident, he's not god, and justify being picked so high...I think he'll be fine next year...

I didn't mean that he didn't have the talent to be in the NFL I meant that he doesn't have the attitude or maturity to play.

He may change...we've seen it happen before with other players but the way he's going, he's not gonna make it. No team is going to want to take the chance that he's not gonna do something stupid and get hurt

What's ironic about the whole thing is that the fact that he missed nearly his whole rookie season is what's still keeping the Browns from cutting him. In other words, had he played last season and underperformed, Cleveland might have thought he wasn't worth keeping after the accident and simply released him, but the fact that they still don't know how good he can be at the NFL level is what's keeping him on the Browns. It's really just all about potential with him, and they seem to think he has a huge upside. Hopefully this whole thing will humble him and he'll come back more focused than ever.

Make no mistake, he is a huge talent...This kid is no Ryan Leaf, he just had a case of superior athlete syndrome, any athlete or former athlete can probably identify with that...

Think about it...You really think Michael Vick isn't cocky...? Shid...Mike is getting more pussy in A-Town than a Cat show...And then you think about Kellen Winslow..

Not only is your father a NFL power...You go to Miami U...A place NOTORIOUS for being an athlete breeding ground...I don't think I have to imply what being in MIAMI means to any player on the hurricanes, let alone a gifted athlete like KW...The best at his position...

He's 6'5", 240, and mean as fuck...I am not the only person that saw him catch a ball and obliterate everyone in front of him...He's only what, 22, rich, famous, good looking?, and probably not an idot..? I wouldn' cut him either...
