in 2024, he was lost week #5 the same week we lost Dax Hill. Hard to get a read.

Fair, but we're wanting to put faith in an UDFA who has hardly played since leaving the 2022 college season?

Dude didn't play a full season in college since his 2018 freshman year, and injuries were a big concern for him coming out of college.
He had a surgically repaired right ankle going into his 2022 college season.

I'm just sayin, it's a lot to hope and expect a guy who hasn't been fully healthy since 2018 to be a reliable, healthy, consistent guy.

If Kirkland competes and kicks out Volson, so be it, but I still won't have confidence in whatever starting Guard if it's one of Patrick, Ford, Kirkland, or Volson. Not until I can see 2+ months worth of good, consistent performance.
