It is still staggering to think that we got such an exceptional player as an undrafted free agent.
His lousy combine - featuring a 5.09 forty - did him in completely. I believe some teams would've overlooked the red flags had he shined, but he did the opposite of shine.
I think the combine sent him being a 2nd-3rd rounder to completely undrafted.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
