Sometimes, circumstances are beyond a player's or the team's control. And that is what unfortunately faces the Los Angeles Rams now, with the disappointing circumstances that surround just-extended starting left tackle Alaric Jackson. Jackson has been an NFL story that has warranted respect and praise. After all, starting as a left tackle in the NFL is not an easy task. But when that role is filled by a hard-working player who has never heard his name called out in an NFL Draft, that is something special to behold.
Now, don't get me wrong. When it comes to the purest form of 'bust,' we are often talking about a player whose NFL career just went up in smoke.
