Good for him. Could've been a great player if not for injuries.

Wish him well.

Best of luck. I loved watching him play at Cal.

Nice! I always felt for the guy a little, I feel like he really could have thrived in that offense.

One of my fav players to enter the draft in the last 12 years.

This is a learning experience for me in terms of not brushing off a player's history of concussions in the college level. He was so gifted of a player I thought his size and medical history (the negatives) did not outweigh his skill set and the type of impact he would bring to an offense (the positives). Now I look at medical history (knee injuries, and concussions only) much more seriously.

Jahvid Best - RB - Free Agent

Free agent Jahvid Best is suing the NFL, alleging the league "knew about the risks of head injuries suffered by players, but didn’t do enough to protect them."

Best is also suing helmet-maker Riddell. Best suffered three-known concussions during his two-year NFL career, the last of which ostensibly ended his playing days in October 2011. The suit is a clear sign he's officially given up on playing again even though he's only 24. A Cal graduate, Best is joining the Golden Bears' coaching staff for 2014.

Wish him well.

Id like to retract my previous statement.

Just when I think there's a former NFL player I even remotely like, Best shows his douche-hole true colours. What an asshole.
