    Just wondering, he was a top pick a couple of years ago in the draft. He had a lot of hype around him, if I remember correctly. How come no team has picked him up yet? He's still relatively young, and you'd think some team would take a chance on him, right?

    Btw, this question came into my mind watching the Colts/Bears game

    He got into trouble with the Law one too many times and the Bears outright cut him. Apparently, the other teams don't want to take the risk on what he's got between his ears, especially for the career ~3.3 yards per carry.

    He came into the league worn down from those 4 yrs at Texas.

    I doubt his off the field issues have anything to do with no team showing interest....his arrest record isnt enough to keep him out of the league....a bigger issue us that hes a 225 lb that runs like he weighs 140 lbs....teams dont care for that....allow me to quote every RB coach in the league, "Hit the damn hole or hit the damn road!"...
