Josh Gordon, American football player
Joshua Caleb Gordon (born April 13, 1991) is an American football wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He previously played for the Cleveland Browns, New England Patriots, and the Seattle Seahawks. Nicknamed "Flash", he played college football at Baylor and was selected by the Browns in the second round of the 2012 NFL Supplemental Draft. Throughout his career, Gordon has been lauded for his on-field production, but has also faced several suspensions for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Gordon made an impact early in the NFL, leading the league in receiving yards during his 2013 season, which earned him Pro Bowl and first-team All-Pro honors. Over the next four years, however, Gordon only played 11 games for the Browns due to his substance abuse suspensions and missed the entirety of the 2015–2016 seasons. He was traded to the Patriots in 2018, but voluntarily left the active roster amid a potential indefinite suspension from the NFL. Gordon returned the following season with the Patriots and Seahawks before further substance abuse violations led to him being suspended through 2020. Reinstated for the 2021 season, he joined the Chiefs.
