Which is the point really. Can he still produce at a high level?
This season will be more of a crucible than any I've seen in the past, because the NFL won't have OTAs, training camp; the whole preseason probably will be shortened or eliminated. Teams with lots of veteran players and incumbent coaching staffs are going to have a huge advantage over teams loaded with young inexperienced talent/rookies.
Players with high football IQs are going to feast in 2020. A player like 88 will learn the playbook cold in three weeks. Find his chemistry with 15 in two or three weeks. Make opposing LBs look like idiots in two weeks.
