When we went into the Draft, some experts and fans liked our pick, and some did not.
One of the best indicators is not what a player looked like in college, though pretty high. Nor is it talent, and how high a ceiling the players seems to have, though again, another good bit of info that could give you the answer.
The best indicator is how big a heart a player has, as well as how hard is he willing to go to reach his expected potential and beyond. Problem is, as has been said many times, you can't measure a heart, or accurately guess who has the biggest...This is why late picks like Zach Thomas and Tom Brady become superstars, and considered one of the best at their position, and players like JaMarcus Russell, and Steve Emtman are picked as top players, only to become huge busts.
An article i just found says that not only is Grant showing hard work, and attempting to prove himself, but he is working so hard, a few vets in camp had to tell him to slow down and pace himself.
Now don't get me wrong, not saying this guarantees he will become great, or even that maybe like other busts, he might not be out of football in a few years, but seeing someone who has the heart to prove himself, and try to get even better, no matter how much work...Huge Start to your NFL Career young man, hopefully it continues when the real bullets begin.
