CHICAGO -- Maybe Alshon Jeffery’s critics will soften their stance after Sunday.
When Jeffery’s surprise (and disappointing) four-game suspension for violating the NFL’s PED policy was announced two weeks ago, it caused an angry backlash.
Some suggested the Bears should simply wash their hands of Jeffery and let him walk in the offseason. Others said Jeffery can no longer be trusted after he took what he described as a “recommended supplement.”
Look, Jeffery made a stupid mistake. Professional athletes are responsible for what goes into their bodies, and Jeffery is paying a steep price.
