Sometimes in life you can see trouble coming from a mile away. A player's reputation is often earned by their tendencies. That can be either a good thing or a bad thing.
For example, if a player makes a game changing play on multiple occasions at big moments in games, he might earn the reputation of being clutch. On the other hand, if he repeatedly finds himself partaking in online feuds with fans and local sports personalities, he might find himself labeled as a facilitator of unnecessary drama.
That particular label was given to Steelers tight end Eric Ebron early in his playing career with the Detroit Lions, and it has followed him all the way to Pittsburgh.
