What happened to Josh Freeman?
Josh Freeman was a promising young quarterback in the NFL, but he failed to meet expectations. Freeman grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, and had a strong football background. In high school, he set multiple records and was one of the top QBs in the country. He chose to play for Kansas State, where he showed significant improvement each year.
Freeman was drafted in the first round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His rookie season was challenging, but he showed potential. In his second season, he had his best year, leading the Bucs to a 10-6 record. However, the following season saw a significant decline, leading to tensions with his head coach, Greg Schiano.
Rumors about Freeman's lack of leadership, partying, and low energy began to surface. Schiano did not believe in Freeman and drafted Mike Glennon, leading to Freeman's benching and eventual release. Freeman was then signed by the Minnesota Vikings but struggled due to a lack of preparation and familiarity with the playbook.
Freeman's career continued to decline as he moved between teams and leagues, unable to secure a stable position. His inability to make the best of his situation and maintain professionalism ultimately led to his downfall in the NFL.
The video emphasizes the importance of making the best of difficult situations and staying focused, using Freeman's career as a cautionary tale.
Freeman's injury mars Bucs' preseason victory
Times columnist Gary Shelton says Josh Freeman's fractured thumb tip comes at a bad time for the Bucs. In the NFL, winning or losing a preseason game isn't as important as how the team looks and whether players remain uninjured. The Bucs' game against Kansas City was disappointing as they lost quarterback Josh Freeman for the rest of the preseason. Freeman had only thrown eight passes, completing six, in this crucial preseason as he enters his second year. This injury means he'll have limited practice before the opener against the Cleveland Browns, raising concerns about his readiness and the team's ability to start the season strongly.
