True enough. I still wouldn’t like it though ! 😜

He has all the potential in the world and is exciting to watch because he is so explosive. If we could only keep him healthy.....well, you know!

I think whilst the injury bit is a big part, I just don't see the hunger from him either.

For a guy his size and with his explosiveness, he should be embarrassing O-lineman. It's often seeing him lying on the floor that reminds me that he's even active on gameday.

I don't think the motivation is there, which is a shame because he could be one of the best if he applied it all.

Twitter is going crazy with Carl Granderson workout tape at the minute, nice to see someone sees an opening for more snaps and wants to take advantage.

I would have kept Hendrickson to go along with Granderson. I think that would have made a terrific duo. This cat want ever live up to his draft status, at least not here. Payed way to high with 2 picks for him.

I think most would agree with this idea, but the finances made it practically impossible. Halloween is my favorite Holliday BTW.
