How would Brooks be 100% after a November ACL tear? I’d be fine if he didn’t play until November. 

the studies out that looked at return to the playing field say the average player gets back on the football field in 11 months.   He has youth on his side so he could represent the quick side but the average would mean October is when he would be back to actually playing football.

Seems like he is a large sized WR that actually plays like it!  AD was my guy, but I am excited to see what XL can do.

[amcoolio]

I will say this about XL. He looks the part more than Mingo or TMJ ever did. More fluid than Funchess. Little less fluid than rookie Kelvin Benjamin, but probably more top end speed

I am so happy we got XL....he's got a chance to make Smitty worry about his goat status.  And the kid seems like such a good guy

Jack Plummer was surprisingly underrated in this draft. He didn’t exactly have the best team before he got to Louisville and given one more year at Louisville I feel he would’ve been drafted. 

100% would not have been drafted lmao. 

Dude was terrible. He only got picked up in the portal because Brohm was hired late in the cycle and he knew the offense. 

He would not, and should not have been drafted. Louisville often times won in spite of him. 

He has prototypical size. Thats it. Bryce Young has a stronger arm than Jack Plummer.

I can confirm, he is a very good dude. What you see is what you get with him.

"Duck farts" and "ankle lasers" make me laugh. Not funny if it happens on gameday but funny descriptions right now. We all should be mindful of duck farts as they cannot be very good.

This is exactly what I thought--however, during the draft, someone said his return was slated for July 1.  That is too soon. imo, unless the complete tear is a faster process than a partial.  Maybe I did not understand what was being said.  I personally think they should IR him for four games and then take about 2 weeks to activate him--roughly midseason?

Right now, (and I think Sanders will be OK with the new OL--if he stays) we have a loaded RB room.  Penny, Blackshear, Sanders, and Hubbard without Brooks.  We can bring him along slowly.

They are not that bad--a delicacy in South Central Monroe, actually.

They are projecting him to be cleared by training camp. He appears to be ahead of schedule. They still should ease him in early on. 
“Honestly, as far as rehab goes, it’s good,” Brooks said. “I’m out there, I’m running, I’m about to start cutting. So I’m progressing well. I’m right on track on where I need to be. For me to get back to camp, it’s also just a blessing. I feel like this injury’s a blessing from God just being that it gives me a chance to focus on a lot of other things.

Thanks for this. Good to hear this stuff from the player himself instead of guesswork prognosis.  We’ll get him out there when they think he’s ready, and sounds like it could be sooner than some think.
