Peace Frog Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 12 minutes ago, Patriot Killa said: Is this what you’re talking about..? Injuries Injuries are a major red flag for Austin, as he suffered a torn ACL in 2017 and then re-injured it in 2018. Had it not been for the injuries he was headed towards being an excellent prospect. NFL.com’s Chad Reuter said he would have been a day two pick and ESPN’s Mel Kiper had him ranked as the fourth best senior cornerback heading into the 2019 season. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ganggreennation.com/platform/amp/2019/5/18/18616863/scouting-jets-sixth-round-pick-blessuan-austin No. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The Jets took a flyer on this kid. Good athlete, two major knee injuries in two years. Nobody thought he would contribute in ‘19 when we drafted him. The Jets basically said he a long term project when they took him. Being “cleared” to train for an NFL career is a lot different then being able to perform like you’ll have one. I get it, we’re short at CB, but let’s calm down with this kid. If he even gets to dress for a game this season, that would be a huge step for him. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he even gets to dress for a game this season, that would be a huge step for him.Right. This is about it 14. It’s good news he was cleared. Sure. That means he is cleared to begin using his body in athletic manner again. Not that he is cleared to suddenly be our savior at CB. Psssst.... By the way.... he will most likely never be a starter for the jets. Sorry folks.

Austin is someone 99% of the people on this board ever heard of before we drafted him, including me. And you two (please don’t try to tell me you did). I had read somewhere that after his sophomore year, if he continued on his arc, he would have possibly been a 1st or 2nd round pick. Because I can’t find a link to it does not mean that it does not exist. Maybe it was a Rutgers article. Maybe his mother wrote it. Maybe I wrote it then read it myself. Why the f*ck do you guys care.

If not for injuries was certainly a 3rd or 4th rd pick. If he was an SEC player, might have been drafted in the 2nd, if not for his injury history.

I'm sure we're all pulling for him to be a good CB for the Jets, but it still doesn't change the fact that he was never considered that type of prospect.

Round 2 or 3. And that was written after he had his ACL injuries about what he could have been. Is it that far-fetched that someone could have projected him as a day 1 or 2 pick? We’re talking about draft projections for a guy with multiple ACLs. I’m unclear as to the faux outrage. I read something that I admitted I could not find. I didn’t make it up. I don’t care enough about him to make it up other than I’m rooting like hell for him. Folks are saying what I read does not exist. Anywhere in the universe. I just asked for proof that it does not exist, which cannot be proven. Again. I can’t find it but I know I read it somewhere and I’m not senile enough to have made it up.

I'll post more links where based on his skill's before the injury, he was considered a day 2 prospect. You more than most know damn well the difference in talent between a mid 1st rounder and a 2nd rounder, isn't that much. Hell, if your drafted in the 3rd rd your expected to be a starter in the league, in short order. No Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
