Sam Bradford might be the most disappointing NFL athlete to make the list thus far. While he did have some bright moments throughout his career, Bradford was widely inconsistent making some of his major contract offers undeserving. While he wasn't highly recruited out of high school, he did make his way to the University of Oklahoma (2007-2009) where he instantly made an impact on the field. In 2008. Bradford became the second sophomore ever to win the Heisman Trophy and led the highest-scoring offense in NCAA history throwing for 4,720 yards and scoring 50 touchdowns.
In the 2010 NFL Draft, Sam Bradford was drafted 1st overall by the St. Louis Rams where he signed a record-breaking rookie contract for $78 million, $50 million guaranteed. In 2014, Bradford suffered a torn ACL and was traded to the Eagles where he played a single season for $23.9 million in 2015. Bradford found himself in Minnesota for two seasons and lined his pockets with an additional $25 million. In 2018, Bradford signed a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals worth $20 million but was released the same year. Bradford is currently a free agent looking to get onto the field.
Over the years, weve seen so many food trends come and go, such as ramen burgers, matcha, and spiked ice-cream. Nowadays, were seeing another trend making waves in the food industry. How many times today have you seen an Instagram photo of a scoop of black ice cream, or a cup of black yogurt, or hamburgers with black buns? Indeed, the charcoal trend has taken the world by storm.
So, what gives your latte that deep black shade? Activated charcoal, or coconut ash, is produced by heating coconut shells to insanely high temperatures until theyre burnt to a crisp. The ashes are then increased in size by steaming at high temperatures. Through this process, the ashes become a strong detoxifier, mostly because they become extra absorbent. This product may be purchased in pill form, and promises to alleviate hangovers, minimize the effects of food poisoning, and fight the visible signs of aging.
Activated charcoal is said to boost ones energy as a result of decreasing toxins in the body. However, no evidence proves that detoxifying can lead to increased energy. Also, while it can help cure a hangover, it doesnt necessarily remove alcohol from your blood. It is also said to aid in debloating your stomach because it cleanses your colon but again, this all anecdotal and isnt supported by scientific evidence as of yet. All we can say for sure is that it is a proven detoxifier.
