Pacman, along with so many other players, are proof the NFL is perhaps the most forgiving employer out there. This can be said about most sports of course, but if I were arrested for even the most mild of Pacman's many transgressions, I would be fired on the spot at my job.

Do people really understand how elite of a prospect this guy was coming out of West Virginia. He was so good he was the first defender taken in the 05 draft ahead of DeMarcus Ware. The talent he had is the reason he was given so many changes. He was one of the more fluid quick twitch athletes I ever saw. Good hands for a CB and he was aggressive. He is easily one the top 5 CB prospects of the last 20 years. He was set for Multiple All pro and pro bowl selections but the season long suspension put that talk on hold. He did finish strong however and made it 10 plus years in the NFL

Shout-out to FlemLo I just want to say that this is probably my third ever comment ever on KZbin. I’ve started watching your videos three days ago and haven’t stopped. Not because of the content, or because I’m a massive fan of football. But because of the way the content is DELIVERED. My personality is similar to yours where we have a mediator mindset, as in we STRONGLY believe there are always two sides to a story. No matter how small one side is, regardless of the fact that it makes it ‘ok’ for a person to act the way they do. You lay out the facts, or even rumors, give your own opinion and ALLOW viewers to see everything with an open mind. I love you man and all the work you put into these videos. CUE the WAYNE!
