The Greatest Player Who Never Was.
MMQB-SI

Joe Don Looney came to the NFL as a generational talent, a first-round pick despite being dismissed from his college team.
He left a legacy of frustrated coaches, barroom brawls and constant disappointment.
And when it was over, he embarked on a post-football life like no other.

?If you want a messenger boy, call Western Union.?
?Running back Joe Don Looney, to Lion's head coach Harry Gilmer after Gilmer asked him to send in a play from the sidelines during what would be among Looney?s final moments as a Detroit Lion.

This could have been a top-10 unit, but Taylor Decker suffered a torn labrum of his own, putting his year two in doubt.

With the Raiders and Derek Carr closing in on a possible $25 million a year deal according to Adam Schefter, this puts Matthew Stafford in position to become the league's highest-paid player whenever he agrees to a contract extension.
On Tuesday, when I asked Rod Wood if he'd be comfortable making Stafford the league's highest-paid player, he told me he's "comfortable getting a deal done" with him. He added that whether Stafford is the highest-paid or not, he'll likely only be that until the next high-level QB is up for an extension.
