"But his time in the national spotlight was short-lived. Off the field issues forced Wegher to leave the program after just one season.

"I lost everything I worked my entire life for," Wegher explained. "I was in a different place mentally."

Over the next couple of years, Brandon struggled to find a home, spending short stints at Oklahoma and Iowa Western without ever playing a down, but while continuing to grow off the field.

"My son was only a couple of months at the time, but my fiance had to endure the struggles I was going through. And I mean, I really put that on her. That's one of my biggest regrets," Wegher said.

In 2013, after three years away from football, Wegher got a shot with NAIA powerhouse Morningside, where things began to fall into place on and off the field."

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
