Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon likely knows that he’s running out of chances in the NFL. Gordon just came off a suspension (which was probably too harsh, maybe a bit Draconian) and is active again, giving Brian Hoyer that vertical threat the Brownies offense desperately needs. The Browns have had a pleasantly surprising season, and Josh Gordon would be a welcome addition.
This Sunday on NFL Network’s NFL GameDay Morning at 9:00 AM ET, NFL Network analyst Nate Burleson sits down with Gordon. A preview of the interview aired today on the special Thanksgiving edition of NFL GameDay Morning:
On the difference between Josh Gordon off the field last year and now:
“The Josh Gordon off the field from last year was due to the Josh Gordon on the field from last year. Most of that trouble I think stemmed off of the crazy hysteria that was happening after the season. It was just so much free time, so much publicity and opportunities and people coming at you, and just being careless and reckless.”
Josh Gordon can’t afford to get into trouble anymore. Any more off the field issues and he’s probably going to be out of the league permanently. Should be a really interesting interview.
