Something to look forward to for sure. And Mazi and so many more. Can’t wait.
The other two for sure. I'm worried about Mazi having mental health issues. If that's actually correct it could help explain the weight loss and why he hadn't appeared to put it back on, at least a month or so ago.
I'm hopeful that because the injury happened in the preseason that he'll be good to go. The last few major leg injuries have taken longer to recover from for our players. Gallup, Steele and Pollard weren't their usual selves the season following their injuries. For Stephens, that could result in another redshirt year. I hope that even if he does struggle coming back that we put him on the practice squad based on the promise he showed last preseason.
Weren’t all those players hurt during the regular season and not preseason?
Excited about the depth at TE this year.
Yes. In fact, Pollard was hurt during the playoffs. But it took Steele and Gallup more than a year to show glimpses of their previous form and Gallup still isn't there. Pollard started playing more like his old self in under a year, but his injury was a broken bone, not an ACL. Some players do recover quicker and severity of the injury does play a part.
Overshown and Stephens were the 1 & 2 rookie sensations last summer; but I think the 2nd-year TE slides to #3 as a must-see in Oxford next month since Beebe and his swagger showed up at The Star.
I agree. I’m getting excited to see what these guys will do. We need Overshown and Beebe to be players. I’m looking for to TC and watching this unfold. To me this one of the funnest times of year. Preseason games and seeing guys develop. Lol, I still remember the night Overshown blew out his knee, the way he fell and grabbed his knee I slammed the remote down in anger. Really looking forward to seeing him play again. It’ll be fun
