Sounds like he really fell on hard times. I saw his Instagram and donated when gofundme was open. Hopefully he can find steady work. Wonder if he’s dealing with mental issues.

Kudos to the recent grad who engaged Sampson.  Easy to just keep on walking with your blinders on.  And then he's stayed engaged in the process.

Good on this kid who attempted to help him.   Either way, I blame Purdue.

Supposedly doesn't have any mental or substance issues. Got his degree. But there's more to this story. He had a problem of some sort -- beyond football -- in college, and Allen threw him a lifeline when he came back. We'll probably never know what's really going on.
