Former Green Bay Packers TE Colt Lyerla overdoses...

[PackFan2]

His guy... Had the whole world and talent. Was given many chances... Just keeps f*cking up.

"Former Oregon Ducks tight end Colt Lyerla escaped from a minimum-security prison in Hillsboro, Ore., on Friday and was caught later in the day, according to authorities."

Easy enough to sit back and say that the ending would be the same, but makes you wonder 'What if he doesn't try to jump over a defender during family night'

"Lyerla was sentenced on November 19, 2019 to 27 months in state prison after pleading guilty to charges of coercion, fourth-degree assault, unlawful possession of heroin and strangulation in Lane County Circuit Court"

I was curious what ever came of him and found the above....sad situation for someone that had the raw abilities to be something.

Why the title about overdosing? Thought he died.

Because it was the most recent post about him and I didn't want to start a new one merely for the 2019 event I just now discovered, so tacked it onto one about him already making ill decisions.

Addiction is hard to beat. I think he needs rehab more than a prison sentence.

Ya, but you can court order a few things for them when they're in custody and get them on their way to rehab from jail.

Yeah, but that is only in Fantasyland.
