I agree, and he is a lineman and not a running back, etc. Most lineman in college and the pros where custom fitted knee braces in every game. He's 22, young and hungry and probably willing to put in more work for that first real payday.
We're still at the point we have to take fliers on guys if we want to stay on top and draft in the last two picks.
