Hey Mr Happi. Long time no see. Hope all is well.
We were told day one that the nerve was the biggest issue, so this is the important part to me: "Yet the nerve has seen “no significant change,” source said."
My gut tells me at some point he sees the field, but having him play with "drop foot" doesn't sound great. Honestly even if he wasn't on the Cowboys I'd be rooting for him. Good kid, tough break and would make a great story if he overcomes
i think we all agreed at the time, but that is in the past and not worth rehashing at this point. We can't get the pick back. Just like with Mo. To me the discussion is does he ever play, does he ever play well and does he ever become the phenom that the team thinks he can be. Time will tell. Maybe 10 years from now we say how smart they were or maybe we say they swung and missedToo huge a gamble when he was drafted for this team IMO, but hope it works out. I hope it is not a Friday night lights scenario.

Glad to hear all is well with her now...much more importantHey Jarntt. Wife had a cancer scare so that took up a lot of my mental space. All is well now and Im glad to be back.
I really want this kid to have a successful career, but man this sounds nuts. Of course in a few years it may be commonplace.
Drop foot at his young age is devastating.Hey Mr Happi. Long time no see. Hope all is well.

I would guess that the degree of the drop foot infliction is the issue. I am not an expert but can't imagine that most with drop foot can do this:Drop foot at his young age is devastating.

WATCH: Cowboys' Jaylon Smith drops new vid, jumping, cutting, awesome
I am so hoping for him. He seems like someone that anyone would root for.i think we all agreed at the time, but that is in the past and not worth rehashing at this point. We can't get the pick back.

I think his upside is capped at practice squad player at best if the nerve doesn't regenerate any more. I think if he gets almost all of the feeling and use back he can be a very good player and if it completely regenerates he can be a phenom. So like we heard day one. It's all about the nerve. I realized after reading up on this that a lot of the people I thought had hip problems of some type actually have drop foot. They have a very distinct walk as they need to kick one leg out to the side just to cross the street. Obviously his condition is nowhere near those individuals so maybe it keeps getting better. Assuming he participates I cannot wait to hear how practice is going with him and to see him in a preseason game. I am growing more and more optimisticDraft time two years ago I wasn't optimistic about the pick. Today I am. I am not sure if it is the "because he is a Cowboy" glasses or not. I did see him do some running and showed off his explosiveness but I had no context as he was running drills. He did look pretty good and this is well before training camp still.
