Josh Gordon says he’s had to work through “a lot of guilt,” “shame,” and “inner turmoil” over the roller-coaster ride that has been his NFL career, which started out with “Flash” (his nickname) then fell through the cracks due to an ever-elusive struggle for sobriety.
He admits he’s even had doubts about how he’d hold up if given another chance to play in the NFL.
But that’s not going to stop him from giving it a shot.
“It’s like putting together a puzzle piece by piece, knowing that things can and have fallen into place,” he said.
