I think there's a few guys in this system who were prematurely written off by some or most. The back for a kid his age is concerning, but there's no question he can mash when he's on the field. I think Henry and Rutledge would be others. To me, the potential for these written down assets to be productive gives the system additional upside should some of the other high potential guys not reach their peak projections.
Agreed. It’s a different sport obviously but let’s not forget that Rob Gronkowski essentially missed a season in college after having back surgery and then went on to have a HoF career in the NFL. A single back issue doesn’t have to be the death knell in a career for a player that young and I’m really happy to see Brady back producing and looking fully healthy. He’s another really high level physical talent in the system.
