"Some people hit the slots, the tables, the apps, spend what they can spend, and go home - or put the phone down. Not me. I'd wake up early in the morning, and the first thing I'd do was bet.

"He set an LSU single-game record with 14 catches for 308 yards and three touchdowns against Ole Miss in the final game of his true freshman campaign. As a sophomore, he reeled in 38 catches for 508 yards and nine touchdowns over his first six games before going down with that injury - hindering him the rest of his college career and hurting his stock before New England eventually selected him in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft."
Kayshon Boutte developed a serious gambling addiction during his time at LSU, betting constantly and losing roughly $90,000. The problem intensified during rehab after a sophomore ankle injury that derailed a promising early-career trajectory marked by a 14-catch, 308-yard freshman game and a productive start to his sophomore year. Betting became a nightly compulsion tied to insomnia and frustration during recovery. The injury harmed his college production and draft stock, leading to a sixth-round selection by New England in 2023. Boutte faced his first NFL playoff game while publicly acknowledging the financial and personal consequences of his gambling.
