Point being Steelers kept Big Ben cause helps the team, notwithstanding is extra-circular activity. Holmes was not traded away because of his extra-circular activity but for being a egotistical malcontent. (just like a certain other WR)
You know how in draft evaluations, people talk a lot about valuing "football intelligence," which is not quite the same as what a Wonderlic measures? I think it would be just as useful to talk about "football character," which isn't quite the same as "I'd want this guy to date my sister" character.
Take Brandon Spikes. He's been an immature dumbass off the field, but by all accounts a smart, hard-working leader once he gets to work.
