Dang!!!
Had no idea he was dealing with any kind of injury/illness….

That stinks for him. He came in with a lot of promise being a top 10 recruit in that class. I hate that he never reached his potential.

Yeah, is that the reason?? Or did he get hurt also. Either way hate it for the guy

See-saw battles.

Injury and you are down.
Getting into shape you are down, coming from behind.
Injury and you are down, again.
Getting into shape and you are down, again, coming from behind.

Hate that for him. I remember when Bama signed him, I was so excited to see what he could do. This right here is a perfect example of preparing for life after football. Very few high school phenoms make it to the NFL and get those big paychecks. Even fewer make it to the NFL and last more than 4 years. I hope he has a good career in whatever field he goes in to.

Coach Saban would call Coach DeBoer and say, "you don't start injured offensive linemen."

No.. I meant when he was “lighter and more athletic”.. that seems to be the way we are going..They said he had trouble making weight here..

@24and7 Dykes offense doesn't ask for the physicality that seen in Tuscaloosa. If he's not able to make it there?

As wide as I've seen some of the splits with Dykes...mobility would be a key that he's missing.

I wish him well in the next chapter of life. Hate that injuries hurt his career.
