As I’ve always said about Josh Gordon, I hope like hell he manages to find success in the NFL, but I’m not holding my breath.
He’s had so many issues with the league that I’ve lost track of how many times he’s been suspended.
Josh Gordon’s new agent @ZacHiller from @LAASportsEnt: “We are grateful that the NFL appreciates the work that Josh put in and now he has earned another opportunity to be part of this league. We are proud of Josh, and I know all the fans can’t wait to see him on Sundays.”

Now, he’s on the Chiefs and apparently impressing at a very high level in practice. If that’s the case, then he’ll be on the field this upcoming Sunday night.
Still, until he can prove that he can stay on the right track, then there’s no reason to believe this will be the time he finds success.
Time to get to work. 🎯 @Chiefs 🙏🏾

He needs to go out there and prove, and I hope he does.
