HashtagImportant chronicled a bunch of athletes, who saw their production drop after indulging in Chipotle’s free card.

Of the eleven athletes, five saw a dip in production or efficiency and five missed significant time due to injury or ineffectiveness. In total, eight of the eleven had “disappointing” years for some reason or another. Chandler Parsons underwhelmed compared to his final year in Houston, Ty Lawson had his least efficient scoring season in the NBA, and Russell Wilson had his worst statistical season by Total QBR standards.
Chalmers, for his part, said he gave up eating Chipotle last offseason to work on conditioning.
