Todd Marinovich: The Man Who Never Was

[James Bond]

Twenty years ago, he was guaranteed to be one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to play the game of football. Engineered to be. He was drafted ahead of Brett Favre. Today he's a recovering junkie. This month he was arrested again. Scenes from the chaotic life of a boy never designed to be a man.

Yeah that's a bit of an exaggeration..he was the 24th pick overall and wasn't even the first QB to be drafted that year.

Oh, you mean Marijunanvitch? I saw a great show on him on ESPN and how much his dad rode him and once he got out into the real world, he couldn't handle the freedom.
