Like we all think he sits out this year and gets back at it in training camp. Kid woulda went top 5-10 in the draft. Ease him in so he can be the best he can be.

Nick Eatman said on the Break a few days ago he saw Gregory, Tapper, and Jaylon in a 50 yard race and that Tapper smoked both of them. In his words it wasn't even close. I'd imagine a healthy Jaylon wouldn't be losing that foot race, granted Tapper did run a 4.6 40.

Now that's a pretty interesting tidbit.

great point.

jaylon ran a 50 yard race?
is that even possible with an ATO brace?
jaylon used to run a 4.4 or so.

gregory is supposed to run a 4.6 something, so Tapper should not be smoking him.
do you have a link? thanks!

That is surprising. Did Jaylon Smith have 4.4 speed or was that just a guess from watching tape. Because there is a world of difference between a 4.6 guy and a 4.4 guy. A 4.6 guy shouldn't be able to smoke a halfway healthy 4.4 guy ever.

I am sure Jaylon is not ready and needs lots of rehab on those muscles.
But I am not sure anyone can run a 50 yard race while wearing an ATO brace.
That could be the proof everyone wanted.

Considering that he can run while wearing it why couldn't he?

Run well? That is a different discussion. It's got to screw with your gait.

Would one really want to run full on for 50 yards with an ATO?

Why wouldn't he? You think it would hurt him or something?

It's like running with a club on your foot but it is what it is.

potential for injury?

besides, if he cannot lift or drop his foot, it would look ridiculous for a race.
he might be moving at not much better than half speed?

"Moving around better and better" sounds like he still has a long way to go.

How? It doesn't change how the heel hits it affects the rest of the foot. He doesn't have the ability to push off and put a lot of pressure on the toe with it.

moving as fast as possible, but yet your ankle effectively non-functional.
seems to be asking for an accident
