The San Diego Chargers eventually decided to get rid of last year’s seventh-round pick from LSU, wide receiver Demetrious Byrd, who spent his rookie season in Chargers jersey without playing any game because of the serious injuries he suffered in a horrific car crash prior to the draft.
It was rendered that Byrd will be unable to play football anymore, but the Chargers still drafted him.
"Despite the injuries, the Chargers selected him and generously extended him a contract for the season," the Chargers said in a statement.
However, a lot of people guess that Byrd was released possibly because of shenanigans on his Twitter account, including this comment:
"Hey twitt fam is it gay to like justin bieber? Cuz I’m not gay but I’m feelin dat baby sng dat shit rockin right now on my cd also."
Byrd refused to admit that he was cut because of his comments on twitter but because he was healthy enough to be released without any further financial obligations. Thanking Chargers general manager A.J. Smith, he added that he would go back to school to complete the 21 remaining credit hours for his degree requirements.
