Have you ever read anything he wrote anywhere else?
I'm not sure if I believe the Player's Tribune is a total PR/ghostwriting factory...that seems like a lot of additional expense to achieve no additional revenue, as I can't imagine players pay to get their articles posted.
Good editors? Absolutely. But I suspect content originates from the player (with the help of their own agent/manager) and is polished up by PT - polish which probably includes shaving back some of the 'professional' edits made by the player's internal editors so it sounds more conversational.

So it's fair to ask how good a job Gross did of understanding his client and guiding him.
