His open plea to Dallas is pretty weak and pathetic and overly entitled. A truly great player would accept the challenge at assisting in making a poor team better. Cleveland could reverse it's ill fortunes just like that. It happens. We've seen it already in places like Oakland where the winning was stagnant for a decade+. I don't think Bruce Smith cried about going number one overall to Buffalo in 1985 nor openly stated or begged a team to take him. 

 

We've seen it happen in Arizona and Seattle as well after laying low or dormant for a few years here and there. Anything is possible. It's a privilege to play in the NFL. He should be honored by the fact that he's being considered the number one prospect out of 1,000's of his class that may or may not ever set a single foot on an NFL practice field.
