One thing that does not need to be the case

When it comes to being successful in the NFL , you need to make sure you have both the passion and the physical skills necessary to make it. is that you need to be a good person. Sure, it doesn’t help if you’re a jerk, but as many people on this list proved, it didn’t stop them from being a successful player.Now granted , Aaron Hernandez or Rae Carruth got to finish their career in a jail cell, but another jerk may be starting in this year's Super Bowl.As society continues to embrace technology, these players lives are under a microscope now more than ever before. If you were playing in the '70s or '80s and you went out for a beer after the game? May not be such a bad thing. But if you have a history like Johnny Manziel, you better believe that every thing you do is being followed and scrutinized. Not so bad if you aren’t a jerk, but if you have character concerns then you better believe you won’t be getting the benefit of the doubt when more news stories emerge that are linked to you.Some of these players may have gotten you up and cheering from your couch every Sunday , and ifso, I am sorry if I ruined the image of them being a good, clean, hard working kid. Others are jerks that everyone knows, but wouldn’t you love to hear stories as to why they’re jerks (here’s looking at you Terrell Owens!).Whether the biggest jerk to you is on this list or not , there is no doubting that these are not 20 of the biggest jerks that have played in the NFL. JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Jacksonville Jaguars have ruled out running back Leonard Fournette four days before the team’s game at Kansas City.Coach Doug Marrone announced Wednesday that Fournette and cornerback D.J. Hayden (toe) will miss the road game Sunday. It was a somewhat surprising move considering NFL teams rarely rule out players before Friday.Fournette re-injured his right hamstring in a 31-12 victory against the New York Jets last Sunday. Considering he missed two and a half games after initially tweaking it and came back too soon, the Jaguars (3-1) are expected to be more cautious this time around.No one would be surprised to see Fournette sidelined until after Jacksonville’s bye week, potentially returning Nov. 11 against Indianapolis.The second-year pro from LSU already has missed five of 20 regular-season games and left his only two starts this season because of hamstring tightness.He has 71 yards rushing on 20 carries this season.
