I love DTs and he seemed like the perfect size, and strong, and what they did have in highlight clips made him look like a monster. I thought this might end up being a real coup for us. It could still be.But what I didn't know about at the time was all his injury problems. Maybe not serious/permanent, but he missed a lot of playing time not only in college, but also in high school. Just kind of seems a little too persistent for my comfort level. And now it would seem that either his conditioning or intensity level are a bit off (or perhaps both). It's not hard to read between the lines in those articles and especially the quotes - the Packers coaching staff is clearly disappointed. That doesn't mean they are writing him off for this year or even that it is causing any concern in the grand scheme of things, we're obviously deep in that position, but there is no mistaking when they say things like "he's a little behind" or "we'd like him to be further along, but..." what it means is -- way behind. Not where a first pick should be, at least right now.Bummer. At least time is on our side, for now. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
