It's often overlooked but playing at a high level in pain is part of what made D Ware so awesome. Hope this kid is made of similar stuff.

Kid is going to tear it up. Put it in three inch headlines!

he was injured at the beginning of the season.
what i want to know is how the high ankle sprain lasted 6 months or 7 months - is that typical?

Who said anything about 6 to 7 months?

I dont think he had a bad Combine at all,thats pretty good for a big guy and 40 times are meaningless for a pass rusher.

40 times are meaningless, but he himself said he had bad combine #s.

Again, this thread has nothing to do with the combine. It has to do with the 2016 Michigan season. I dont know if he was injured at the combine

His numbers were very similar to Chandler Jones and Joey Bosa's

one point of the article was that he played injured.
however, if it takes him 6-7 months to recover from a high ankle sprain, will he be always injured?
i thought high ankle sprains take ~2-3 months to recover from?

Like I said. Who said anything about 6 to 7 months. To my knowledge he was healthy at the combine

there was a lot of concern about his 4.93 40 time even though 40 time is not a good measure.
thought taco blamed it on the lingering ankle injury 6-7 months after the injury?
he did run better in his pro day a month later - 7-8 months after the injury.

I havent heard anything about him blaming on his injury

How many times do they run the 40 in the combine ?
I thought that it was blamed on the ankle, and indeed he ran a better time a month later...

Once

wow, combines really suck

40 times are meaningless, but he himself said he had bad combine #s.

However, its stated that he himself stated that he had a bad 40 time. He took it to heart it and did it over and it showed better. From 4.94 to 4.7.

4.7 is decent not great. But just shows he cares about production.
