He got 31 yards because nobody was even around him. He was as big a bust as a "receiving lineman" as he was a blocking one.
Yep...and if I recall correctly, a few of those just slapped right off his hands. I guess he'd have some value as a free extra lineman that wouldn't have to report as an eligible receiver, but whenever he checked in it would pretty much telegraph our intentions if he has no real receiving ability. As to the heart issue, no one here wishes the guy ill will. It was just a bad draft pick.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
