Dez's biggest issue was immaturity. I don't think there are many guys in the league (or rookies) who are gonna need to be babysat the way he was.
Oh, I would absolutely disagree w that. Especially when you are dealing w the character of the guys we drafted..I think both of those first two guys are going to be on that immature side..to the extent of Dez? Maybe. Maybe not. A lot of that babysitting doesn't come out. Teams sweep that under the rug the best they can, especially if the guy is a great player.
So we probably don't hear nearly as much about these issues as there really are. Look at a guy like Earl Thomas. Look at A. Brown. You think those two guys just became headaches at the tail end of their careers? No way.
Seattle and Pittsburgh respectively kept those issues in house. They did a great job sweeping those things under the rug. Mainly bc those two guys were incredible on the field. Once those guys started slipping a little bit- boom, their true character came to light to the entire world. The nfl is littered w these kind of guys. These guys aren't criminals. They are just hard to deal with off the field.
