If ever there were a story to remind each of us to never take the blessings given to us for granted and to fight the temptations that could take those blessings away, this would be it.

Last year, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon was one of the most dominant players in the entire NFL, leading the league with over 1,600 receiving yards.

But Josh got popped for smoking weed, as a repeat offender, and is spending this year much differently than he spent last year. Josh is spending it at a car dealership in Ohio.

Josh will be the “goodwill ambassador” for the Sarchione Auto group in Randolph, Ohio, and he’ll supposedly be working in all areas of their car business, including as an on-floor salesman.

That’s right. The reigning yards leader in the NFL is going to be selling cars.

While selling Chevys on the local car lot doesn't sound like the most glamorous job, it might not be the worst one for Josh. Josh seems to have a substance abuse problem and who knows- the best thing for him might be to keep busy however he can.

Let's hope this incredibly talented man learns from this humbling experience so that when he's allowed to return to football next season he'll not take the second chance for granted.
