I think it's a pretty common misconception that he had to 'turn his life around'. He got in trouble once for flashing a gun at a guy whom he thought stole his ATVs. He grew up in a relatively middle-class area, his father was a police chief. He didn't come from the inter-city, he didn't roll with gangs, he was just immature when he came into the NFL, like so many other young athletes who fall into money.

He's always been great to the fans and the fans love him back. He doesn't really talk to the media because he doesn't trust them and feels that they gave him a bad rap with this whole felony situation. I'll be praying for him and hope he gets through this.
