I can imagine the same set of lawyers arguing the case representing an accused bank robber saying he only robbed because he was addicted to <insert something here> and needed the money to support his habit.

As I read the quote "If I'm blessed and fortunate enough to have the opportunity to continue my college career at Texas Tech, I know I will get the support I need, including through the school's Center ​for Students in Addiction Recovery," I have to say it sounds as if he is saying he needs to continue playing football in order to be a student. Odd.

Have there been any opinions expressed by NFL teams?
