I've never thought he was lazy nor that he stopped working. But something happens, we all know that. He seems to lose focus/intensity at times. I always hate to speculate like this on a public forum but the only thing I can think of is that he's either burning the candle at both ends or smoking pot.So did he stop working hard once he knew a big payday was in his future? The timing of when he lost that and when he seemed to be a lock as the top college prospect is coincidental.
He is also on record asking how players stay motivated after getting their first big contract. The questions of his work ethic isn't something that's been created from nothing..
His teammates and coaches have always praised his work ethic and his willingness to take direction so if it's not what I suggested, I'm at a loss for what it could be.
