Sure  maybe.  But not at 100%.  That's the point 

I don't think that is much of a knock other than he may not see action right away.  The talent is undeniable so it's all good. We weren't the only team going to take him where he was selected you know. They jumped Dallas, who wanted him badly and the Giants who were going to screw Dallas and take him also. So the concern over the injury was not really a concern after all.  I'm good with it.

That's per Brooks himself in his intro presser too.  He sounds ready to go.  

So many Huddle doctors on here apparently. Every injury is different with different rehab and turn around time. Hell Rodgers blew his achilles and could have played in the post season if needed.

Yup.  I'll take the player himself's word for it haha

How do you figure he will redshirt for a year? All indications are he will be ready for training camp.

I just don't want him on a low snap count all year. I hope you're right but I fear they're using Sanders as a premium insurance policy.

Sanders is only here because his contract dictate it. He will get the majority of rotation snaps until they feel Brooks is ready to go full speed. Whenever that is Sanders will be benched unless he shows out this season. Brooks will eventually replace someone. My bet its Sanders and not Blackshear.

    • The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
    • I'm glad they did. Hopefully Colorado can win game 7
    • Geez, I'm shocked SS would do such a thing. Always seemed like a nice guy, guess not.
