Realistically, it took 3 seasons (?) or 4 (?) before our #1 draft pick OL man from Alabama to play 14 games...and that was our #1 draft.
Any remember Stacey Andrews? He was another one of those players that just couldn't make it on the field for us.

The list of defensive players that didn't ever cut it in this thread is humorous. Just shows how hyped we get on these random preseason heroes.
My favorite hyped player was Chase Coffman. Man that guy was supposed to break all the records. I still blame Coach Hayes... that never ending criticism in the film room lol.
I got pretty hyped on Robert Sands too. Looked like Reggie Nelson, but nothing even close to Reggie haha.

It's the preseason PUP, which means he can be activated as soon as he's medically cleared. Not sure there were any set backs after he ran some routes in individual drills during OTAs, but it offers some roster protection going forward should he be deemed not ready to participate. Basically a hard lesson was learned with Antonio Bryant way back when, so I think the team just makes sure to use the designations as early as possible to prevent any roster/financial problems in case of a flare up or setback.

No point to rushing anyone back from injuries when they're young and plenty of others who can step in while he gets ready. I wish I had a dime for every injury I ignored and went back to work with in my life.. Now at 57 they never go away.. oh well..I didn't have NFL health benefits either.
