He needed to get away. ... In that moment, when he realized football was no longer his purpose, he was overwhelmed. So he trusted his gut to leave the field." Classic fight-or-flight reaction to an anxiety/panic attack. Nothing else explains why he'd leave in the *middle* of a game. What's sad is, he scoffs at the "warrior mentality" of his teammates when he's the one who can't step out of that mentality to admit a mental health issue. A telling scene in the video of him being traded to the Colts is his immediate thought to call his grandma. That's usually not what a mentally tough adult would do, IMO. Still, his horror show of an upbringing is something 99% of this board has not lived through, so casting stones is pretty meh. IMO...
Forward Progress Posted November 26, 2019 Posted November 26, 2019 Vontae Davis Parking Lot Temper Tantrum This video of Vontae in the parking lot is not that of a man who has rationally concluded that it was time to retire. The scripted messages that came out after the fact paint a much rosier picture than it really was.
