When it comes to absolute talent, Greg Hardy had it in spades. He was an all-pro defensive end while playing with the Carolina Panthers. While at Ole Miss, Hardy put up impressive numbers. He had 26.5 career sacks and 38.5 career tackles for loss. Hardy was the ultimate pass rusher on the field.
His off-field antics have not been so great. Hardy was arrested in late September on a charge of cocaine possession. Yesterday, the free agent announced that he has decided to put his NFL career on hold and pursue a career in Mixed Martial Arts fighting.
