4.63 on a broken foot. It's reasonable to expect that he would time better on two good feet.
Is he a burner? no.
I don't give a shit about a high school time whatsoever.
I don't give much a shit whether the kid makes it or not, other than I like a good story, so I'm rooting for him, but it's a lottery ticket and not worth getting worked up over.
But at least argue in good faith. You KNOW he ran on a broken foot, you KNOW that Veach and Reid at least thought he was worth taking a flier on, and medically red-shirting for a year, so there's SOMETHING there they thought was at least worth the effort and patience they've shown so far.
So the argument that he's a slow, not-of-NFL-caliber-athlete stuff is nonsense.
Really smart football minds that have won a couple of Super Bowls think otherwise.
I'm not saying anything at all other than it's going to be an interesting pre-season situation to watch.
