Let me start by saying that I was one of the people that was initially excited when I saw that we had picked up PT as an UDFA after last year's draft. I followed him some at Illinois, and I thought he could maybe help us as a STer and possible back-up RB.
...I was also one of the people that was calling for people to calm down and relax a little bit when there were countless "Give PT the ball" and "PT's a BEAST!" types of the threads all over the forum.
As I stated in another thread... I think I may have been wrong about PT. I think he may be WAY better than I gave him credit for.
Anyways, here goes my question...
During the Chicago game broadcast, I remember one of the announcers talking about PT, and he said something along the lines of... Pierre Thomas was a very highly regarded RB recruit coming out of high school, then he was injured at Illinois and doctors had to remove some muscle from his leg and that effected his burst and his speed.
Does anyone know the real story behind this?
Thanks.
