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.

Can his body take the punishment? I doubt it.
