jlfin said:Ridiculous hindsight analysis. Green was not brittle in college. He was a a 6' 3" WR with 4.3 speed.
In his first practice he was reacting to an underthrown ball when he planted his leg and it got stuck in the turf. It blew his knee out. The injury was so severe that they had to use a cadaveric graft to repair one of the ligaments. It apparently never healed properly, and the next year that same ligament tore again. Just plain bad luck. Nothing more, nothing less.
Avery, on the other hand was an asinine pick on JJ's part. JJ thought he was getting the second coming of Warrick Dunn.
also... yatil had injured himself in college and i remember his pre draft warned of possible injuy prone...
the thing about avery... was that we traded down and used the extra pick to get surtain or somebody like that ... then we got avery at the last pick of the first round.. i think he ran like a 4.3 40... but i remember him playing and that dude was affraid to get hit...
