He’s going to have played no meaningful football for 2 straight years. Good times. 

It will also mean that he's basically only played one season of football since HS too.

Which, if he can get healthy and become the player we expected him to be, will extend his shelf life as a RB as he basically will have only played 1 season out of the last 5, so minimal wear and tear on the rest of his body if his knee can hold up.

Not to be rude/mean, I think there's a 50% chance he never takes another in-season panther snap.

Should have done this last year.  There really wasn't much of a point in playing him when we did last year.  

That being said, I hope the front office learns their lesson about drafting seriously injured players.

He's officially a bust.  3 picks for a certifiable bust

I sincerely hope these kind of picks are now a thing of the past.

Just shy of $5 million guaranteed and may never have to play another down in the NFL. Not a bad gig if you can get it.

Meanwhile the guy who went 5 picks later...

This reminds me of the 2021 draft when we traded down twice in the 2nd round and passed on several quality o-lineman. We ended up with Terrace Marshall Jr at 58, only to see Creed Humphrey (a future Pro Bowl center) come off the board to KC a couple of picks later. TMJ was a wasted pick...and we will never be able to chalk that up to an unfortunate injury. He was just an over rated player and bad draft decision

2 years without playing. He won’t be the same guy when he gets back.

[Wolfcop]

It’ll be a great story if he comes back strong. 

[BlazeCarolina]

Let's be optimistic.  It won't cost us a dime.

Hopefully he makes a full recovery and becomes the player we expected and feels a sense of loyalty to Carolina for sticking with him and believing in him through the darkness.  Maybe we get a loyalty discount on his resigning when he makes a Thomas Davis like comeback.

Still rooting for you Brooks!

The pick was a miss. We all agree. Let's move on. 

[RJK]

He’ll either retire or get hurt when he comes back and retire
