Cleveland Browns coach Hue Jackson is under a lot of pressure for plenty of good reasons. To his opposite, recently reinstated receiver Josh Gordon is currently on a tour of honesty, in which many people will likely leave feeling shocked by the things he claims he did.
And now? Hue Jackson is claiming Josh Gordon still needs to earn his spot on a roster that has exactly as many wins in the National Football League as you and I do … and we're not even an NFL franchise.
“Obviously, he understands that the antennas are up everywhere, and they should be,” Jackson said, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “He has to do the work to make sure that those things are in his past.”
“The biggest thing is he still has to earn the right to be here,” Jackson said. “He earned the right to get back here. He has to earn the right to be here each and every day. He’s been outstanding thus far here. Again, all of the things talked about were past behaviors.”
So this doesn't get twisted, Jackson has seemed supportive of Gordon in the past. This isn't him going out of his way to dump on the receiver. Not to mention, this all stems from a piece in which Gordon admits to selling a ton of drugs in college.
“I said this a long time ago,” Jackson said, “I think there’s a cleansing that people go through in these situations. . . . I don’t think there’s anything great about that. That’s a tough article, but I think that’s behind him and we are going to move on.”
