Football fans had a lot to say after a fan compiled a list of the five “craziest” players in NFL history: O.J. Simpson, Aaron Hernandez, Ray Lewis, Antonio Brown and Lawrence Taylor.
The popular ML Football X/Twitter account shared that ranking (in order from one to five). Among them, Antonio Brown was the last one to play in the NFL, spending his final season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.

Antonio Brown and Lawrence Taylor have been involved in several serious off-the-field and legal issues. While many of LT’s troubles came after his playing career, Brown’s issues cut his career short and will likely keep him out of the Hall of Fame.
Lewis and two friends were charged in the stabbing deaths of Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker after the Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl 34 victory in January 2000. Police dropped the charges against Lewis, who testified against his friends. They were acquitted after claiming that the deaths of Lollar and Baker were done in self-defense.
Hernandez played three seasons with the New England Patriots before he was arrested and charged with the June 2013 murder of Odin Lloyd. Hernandez was convicted in 2015 and sentenced to life in prison. He committed suicide in prison in 2017.
Simpson was acquitted in the 1994 double murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and friend Ronald Lyle Goldman. Simpson, who died of cancer last year, was found liable for their deaths in a civil trial...
