New Chicago Bears kicker Roberto Aguayo has endured more than his fair share of media bashing over the past few months. Drafted in the second round of 2016 by Tampa Bay, he was instantly thrust into the limelight. The pressure that put on his shoulders was both obvious and unfair. Sadly it had an effect. Aguayo struggled as a rookie with multiple missed kicks. Then this offseason the issues continues. So the Buccaneers cut him.
Undeterred the Bears brought him in as competition for veteran Connor Barth. That didn’t stop his former team from continuing to take shot at the poor 23-year old though. During their rookie entertainment show, a list was brought forth of “10 Things You Won’t See Happen at Training Camp.” It started off innocently enough but soon started to get vicious.
Cornerback Brent Grimes got a nasty one declaring his lack of control over his marriage. Grimes of course is well-known for having a wife who is highly outspoken on Twitter. However it was the ninth line on the list that really got rough. Desean Jackson shared a screen shot of it on Instagram.

Bears kicker Roberto Aguayo will either rise or crumble from scrutiny
It pretty much ends what has been a rough week for Aguayo. Getting cut was bad enough. Missing his first field goal as a Bear and then having this surface online? It’s hard to imagine how a man can cope with such things. There’s no telling what the Bears will do with Aguayo. They may end up just cutting him or maybe even slip him onto the practice squad.
Hopefully there he could get out of the spotlight and rebuild his confidence. All things considered that might be the best thing for him right now. Otherwise his once promising NFL career will be given that photo as a lasting imagine. Nobody deserves that.
