Just looking over some draft grades and saw a couple of comments that made me wonder...
"38. Ronald Jones, RB, USC B+ Grade
We heard the Buccaneers preferred Derrius Guice, but Ronald Jones is definitely a strong option as well. The Buccaneers needed to upgrade their backfield after Doug Martin struggled so much last year. Jones is a dynamic threat who can go the distance whenever he touches the ball, so Jameis Winston will love playing with him. My one concern is how having Jones will work in Tampa's crazy party atmosphere, where many young careers have been derailed."
And again...
"117. Jordan Whitehead, S, Pittsburgh C+ Grade
Jordan Whitehead makes sense as a fourth-round prospect. He's small, but could eventually become a starter if he remains clean off the field. The problem is that Whitehead has some off-field issues, and I'm not sure the crazy Tampa party environment is the right fit for him."

Is the party scene in Tampa really derailing these guys, and a bigger problem than in many other cities? Sure it's got more going on than say, Green Bay, Wisconsin, but I feel like if a player wants to party, they can find a place to do it (and trouble) in most cities in the league, right? What do you guys think, is Tampa really a bigger/worse party risk than, say Dallas, New York, LA?
