Say you want about Darnell Dockett and some of his social media antics, but the Cardinals defensive tackle balls-out on Sundays, and hasn’t had any major run-ins with the law since his college days.
Dockett will miss the entire season because of an ACL injury suffered during training camp, and would give anything to return to the field.
In lieu of the leagues-domestic violence issues, and teammate Johnathan Dwyer being arrested for two separate incidents of domestic violence, Dockett took to Twitter to blast “the dumb sh*t” players who have the privilege to play are doing.
I swear people don't know how lucky to be able to "play" in the NFL. Doing all types of dumb shit & here I am willing to do anything 2play!

The only way I'll get in trouble with the LAW is if some one try to harm me or my kids Then at that point the hell with football
Players in the NFL as a whole don’t seem to understand the privilege and honor they have to play in the league every Sunday.
If the players can’t get the message; then, the policy should be structured for an immediate lifetime ban for those who simply take the privilege for granted.
