He's simply never been healthy. He's shown flashes at times, but ultimately he appears to just be a brokedick.
Okudah is the really sore thumb here, IMO. A 3rd overall pick that got essentially dumped for a 3rd day pick. The Lions even ate some of his salary to move him.
There's not been much middle ground in this class, has there? Most of these guys have been excellent or complete crap. Or, y'know, dead or imprisoned. And really it's just a matter of time before Arnette (and probably Isaiah Wilson) ends up in one of those 2 categories as well.
That draft class is just a shit-show.

Defensive tackle is so damn hard. There's more obstacles, I would argue, to that group not working out than any other grouping other than QB.
If you have an attitude problem, you're a bust risk. Many of them aren't hard workers. Many of them are athletes but no technique. Many of them are too small or short or can't get pad levels right. Many of them are huge injury risks like all positions, but they play a position that, like RB, is designed by the other side of the ball to attach and punish physically.
Just a really hard position to get a feel for.
