He was very good the next two years, but never quite lived up to the hype. Deshaun Watson coming out of Clemson also helped the idea that he would translate.
Kid landed in a dumpster fire in Jacksonville, though. I don't see him accomplishing much until he gets out out of that hole.
Yeah Jax is certainly doing him no favors. I think he has potential, but I was glad we got Burrow instead. Even back then.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
