If anyone is surprised by this development, then they didn't watch him last year. He was UFL level. Having said that, the jury is out until preseason. Let's see what he looks like in actual competition before the dirt is shoveled over him.

Nate said he’ll have 5 good plays then 2 bad ones. Needs to be more consistent. He may need more time but if he’s improving, thats a good thing. See what happens in preseason.
Last year is worthless. He wasnt ever going to succeed dropping all that weight and rushing the passer.

Not an excuse, but I could see this year as more of an actual learning experience for him. Of course you want your 1st rounder to be an impact player quickly and all...

He looks pretty good here, driving past Tyler Smith

Lol....where is the explosion off the ball? This looks like a fat undrafted free agent.....not a former #1. Just more proof McClay is so overrated. How many more top picks does this guy have to whiff on before people start questioning him or the approach?

Like Aidan Hutchinson?
Aiden was the 2nd overall pick and a generational talent all the way up to the draft. I said stop reaching. Mazi and Taco were late 1st round selections that should have been mid-late 2nd rounders at best. We took them because we were desperate for a "war daddy".

They weren't desperate at all. Go back and listen to the post draft day one interviews.

I think 1st round picks are customarily "mistreated" by their coaches who want to set a very high standard for their charge. Assistant coaches are also evaluated by their HC's.

Mazi gets the special treatment as they say and it could kick him into gear at some point. I'm not ready to consider him a bust, not after one season.

I've seen late bloomers and they usually come from one of the lines.

Lol. Lamb, Parsons, Tyler Smith, and now Guyton.

Absolutely stunning news. I’m shell shocked. Literally shaking.

It's shameful how so many people seem compelled to berate a player when he's down.

Let's give Mazi & Lance a chance to get going, before continuing the harsh comments.

One should understand that it only adds to the difficulty when the criticism is constant.
