Josh Gordon will always remain one of the biggest “What if...” stories in recent NFL history. He had all the talent in the world and was impressive when on the field, but he simply could not stay there.
Now, the 31-year-old is trying his luck in another league — and putting up some impressive numbers. Playing for the Seattle Sea Dragons of the reborn XFL, Gordon is dominating his competition.
Through three games with the team, he has caught 13 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns. While he is neither leading the Sea Dragons in receptions and yards — that honor belongs to fellow wide receiver Jahcour Pearson’s 23 for 272 — he is looking a lot like the player he was during his time in the NFL: a consistent big-play threat.
