I agree that you have to give him a bit of a mulligan. I’d be lying if I said I knew a lot about him. I’ve probably watched every piece of media on him that is publicly available.
He seems like an A+ character guy which is awesome. If he fails it won’t be because of work ethic.
Here are my concerns. Time will tell if they are unfounded. I have some concerns about injury. He’s looked frumpy and I question whether he has the training habits required to stay healthy. “A man that large shouldn’t move that well.” Physics agree. You cannot cheat basic physics. The only way you can hope to overcome the enormous stresses put through the body at someone his size/speed is by strengthening the muscles and maintaining flexibility. His bench press at the combine was underwhelming, which tells me he’s not a huge gym guy.
Next…some guys simply peak early. Look at the little league World Series. The kids that are best as adolescents and high school aren’t always the best when they grow up. Bresee honestly doesn’t look a heck of a lot different now than he did in high school. Maybe it was all the injuries, but it does make me wonder how much growth he has left.
