Wow, sabotaging your own team, Titus Young pretty much just stamped his own ticket out of the NFL if this is true, don't see how any team can trust him next year, especially given that he already had character concerns before being drafted.
Quote:
Per Birkett, Young purposely lined up in the wrong place on the field “multiple times” during the Lions’ Week Eleven loss to Green Bay. He also “mouthed off” to receivers coach Shawn Jefferson before being benched for the final possession. Apparently upset that he wasn’t getting enough passes thrown his way, Young responded by attempting to sabotage the Lions’ passing offense.
Young’s teammates understandably don’t have his back anymore; top wideout Calvin Johnson indicated after the Thanksgiving game that he anticipates the Lions moving forward with rookie Ryan Broyles and newly acquired Mike Thomas in the lineup.

I also can't believe the NFL fined Earl Thomas $15k for grazing Tannehill's helmet, such bullshit. That was a borderline penalty at best, yes I understand he did make contact with the QBs helmet, fine, the penalty was by the book, but the fine, ridiculous. There was no malicious intent, Thomas was jumping to deflect the pass, no way he could've stopped mid air.
