I don't think you heard Pac, Leon and Newman saying Dennard would struggle to play the year he was drafted even if it was true.
All Winston needed to say is "We have a strong offensive line group, and he will have to work hard for a spot on this line." (What the CB's did last year)
Instead he says “He’s going to go through a lot of growing pains,” To anoint him or think he’s going to be able to step in Day 1 and be able to do it, hell, I can’t do that."
(CB's never said anything quite like that about Dennard)
Essentially, I see Winston worried about his job security.
A great example or more being read into the comments than there was. It is getting to the point where no athlete can say anything at all without people trying to over-analyze ever single comment.
In a nutshell he stated the kid is just a rookie so fans should not expect him to be an All-Pro right out of the gate. Nothing more to it than that.
