Josh Gordon
Joshua Caleb Gordon (born April 13, 1991), nicknamed "Flash", is an American former professional football wide receiver who played in the National Football League (NFL) for eight seasons. He played college football for the Baylor Bears and was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the second round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental draft. Throughout his career, Gordon was lauded for his on-field production, but also faced several suspensions for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Gordon had a breakout season in 2013 by leading the league in receiving yards, which earned him Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors. Over the next four seasons, Gordon only played in 11 games for the Browns due to his substance abuse suspensions, missing the entirety of the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Gordon was traded to the New England Patriots in 2018, but voluntarily left the active roster amid a potential indefinite suspension from the NFL. He returned to New England the following season and was signed to the Seattle Seahawks prior to Week 9, before further substance abuse violations led to his suspension in 2020. Reinstated the next year, Gordon spent his last two seasons in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs and Tennessee Titans.
Gordon was born to Elaine and Herald Gordon in Houston, Texas, on April 13, 1991. He has two brothers, and is of Haitian descent.
Gordon attended Lamar High School in Houston, where he played football and ran track. He additionally played basketball as a sophomore. As a junior playing football, he caught 20 passes for 363 yards and four touchdowns. As a senior, he was named first-team All-District 20-5A after totaling 25 receptions for 531 yards (21.2 average) and nine touchdowns.
He also competed in track and field as a senior, where he ran a leg on the Lamar 4 × 100m and 4 × 200m relay squads, helping them capture the state title in both events with times of 0:42.69 seconds and 1:30.43 minutes, respectively.
During the college recruitment period, Gordon was targeted by Baylor, Houston, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Texas Tech. According to Rivals.com, Gordon was ranked as a 3-star wide receiver, while Scout.com rated him as a 2-star at the position.
Gordon accepted an athletic scholarship to play football for Baylor University. Although he received multiple Division I offers, his choice of Baylor was easy due to his supervised probation following a felony he committed when he was 17, which required him to not leave the state of Texas. On the morning of October 3, 2010, during his sophomore year, he and teammate Willie Jefferson were found asleep in a local Taco Bell drive-thru lane, where police found marijuana in Jefferson's car. Jefferson, who was driving, was kicked off the team due to it being his second violation, but Gordon was only suspended. Gordon finished the 2010 season with 42 receptions for 714 yards and 7 receiving touchdowns, leading the Big 12 conference in yards per reception (17.0). In July 2011, Gordon was suspended indefinitely by head coach Art Briles for failing a drug test and testing positive for marijuana. In August, Gordon transferred to the University of Utah, but did not play during the 2011 season after declaring too late for the 2011 NFL Supplemental draft.
Gordon was selected in the second round of the 2012 Supplemental draft by the Cleveland Browns. On July 16, 2012, Gordon signed a four-year, $5.3 million deal with the Browns.
