He had a breakout season in 2012 where he recorded 1,646 receiving yards and had one of the best seasons ever by a Browns wide receiver.Gordon only played 11 games for the Browns from 2014-2017 due to his substance abuse suspensions, mostly marijuana use as it was banned from the league at the time and as a result missed the entirety of the 2015 and 2016 seasons.While the league took marijuana off the banned list a few seasons ago, it saw Gordon miss most of his prime and took away many games from his young career.He's currently with the Kansas City Chiefs.
