I posted on Jan 20th that I've had the same surgery and Tua will be looking great doing passing drills in shorts in April before the draft. Here we are.
Based on my experience, i.never understood why people said he'd sit out a year. It's not an ACL or ligament tear. It's delicate early on to ensure the bone heals properly, so there's zero weight bearing but once it has, the rehab to gain back flexibility and strength goes pretty quickly. There can be complications with any surgery but Tua looks great on tape. And you know what, NFL teams can't put their hands on any other player either.
