Can he learn to be a different type receiver? Can his body hold up if he does? What is everyone’s opinion? I remember hearing in the off-season On the radio no WR over 31 or 32 (can’t remember exactly) has missed an entire season due to injury and then came back to have another 1000 season in his career. This surprised me. So he is trying to accomplish something that hasn’t been done before. Sucks for AJ because he seems like such a good dude.
All I know is Ward lined up against A.J. Green on 16 plays in coverage and Green was targeted 7 times for only 2 receptions for 14 yards. Ward pressed Green at the line of scrimmage on 11 of those 16 plays. AJ HAS to do better than that and create separation.
