this all sounds good.
what bothers me is IF Jaylon is now flashing all this improvement and more to go, what was those that BLUSTER about Jaylon playing at a high level for the playoffs back in January?
If he has a slight limp in mid-June after amazing improvement, how big would the limp have been in January?
I haven't seen a slight limp when I've watched him running around.
Some say they have seen a slight limp and some say they haven't... it is likely in the eye of the beholder. Human nature says that the people who didn't like the pick and have said they don't think he'll make it back will be the ones thinking they see a limp... and the people who said he'll play at a high level are the guys not seeing a limp.
I watched with as objective an eye as I possibly could muster and didn't see a limp. But I'm not perfect, so....
His change of direction looks pretty good and to me, that was always going to be one of the big hurdles for him. Having to plant and re-direct. I don't think tackling will be that big a deal for him unless he's taking on someone like Zeke head-on... having to plant and drive his legs.
The biggest test will be taking on a blocking guard in the run game and having to stack and shed. That will stress the healed injury the most out of everything. However, his change of direction (which will be the biggest part of his game) is really pretty good and was a worry spot for me initially because he's a run and chase LB and will be in coverage a good bit.
Overall though, the guy looks really really good with almost 3 months to go until the real games. It is almost a best case scenario.
