I did a little reading about Berry and he appears to be one troubled young man. Some info from a series of stories published here during the off-season on detroitlions.com- http://www.detroitlions.com/team/roster/aaron-berry/9a40b9b8-74eb-461d-bb6f-d6914c65d00c/ "He... was suspended a couple times throughout his college career for off-the-field incidents." "He... drew headlines with an ill-advised tweet ripping fans for their displeasure in his play after the (Lions- NO Playoff) game.... He said he learned a lot. and is now just focused on getting back on the field and competing for a starting spot". I guess he didn't learn enough. He was arrested for DUI a couple months later in June. Berry then issued a statement that said in part: “I promise to do everything in my power to make sure this never happens again. I understand these are just words and it will be my future actions that ultimately will speak for me." Suprisingly, he was arrested again less than a month later (resulting in his release from the Lions), this time for brandishing a firearm from inside a vehicle, according to police. That is ALOT of baggage! He might've seen the light but I'd be very worried about giving him a very responsible position until he's shown he's reliable.
Good find. But think about it.....what kind of trouble could this kid POSSIBLY get into in NYC???? We'll be fine!
I dont care how much troube he gets in..if he gets kicked off the team it will be like we never had him...which we didnt a couple weeks ago..there is no other situration where we could find a good corner in the middle of the season..
I wonder if we let him have a couple weeks to adjust to the system and we saved him for the Patriots game since they will be throwing it all over the place.
I doubt he's dumb enough to do it again after 2 strikes, but I know people that have so you never know. I don't really care, he's a last minute fill in.
