He turned 21 a few months before training camp. He turns 22 in a week or something.
I figured he'd struggle year 1. That's pretty much par for the course. Once Fred went out, it was a trial by fire which I thought would be good for him. A 21 year old rookie banging heads in the interior. It'd push him that much more in the offseason. Give him valuable experience and motivation when he'd be coming into his second year at 22 years old.
My thinking was, by the time he's 24, his floor is going to be high. Year 2 and 3 will show a good amount of improvement.
He could end up average. Always a possibility. Since his main issue looked like strength/weight at 21, I think his odds improve. But, I think he can be the next OL with youth that earns a 5-6 year contract that becomes a mainstay on the line.
Personally, I think his odds of "busting" are pretty low. At worst he might be "average". I think he's going to be pretty good, possibly very good. I'm really curious to see him at Tackle.
