We all know how important RAS is to the Saints, too important if you ask me, but when you look at Penning's RAS it is easy to see why the Saints and many teams had him tagged as a first round talent. Every single team looked at his measurable and went "if he gets it, he'll be among the best OTs in the league."
Trouble is, well, he's struggling to get it. And I think the worst part is he is legitimately trying. He's not lazy. He's not blowing off studying. By all accounts he's been putting in work with multiple OL coaches and seeking wisdom from Hall of Famers.
That to me is what makes it so disappointing. The measurables are there, the drive is there, but the brain is just not getting it.
