Quote:The thing about Cyprien is his talent does not appear to be as advertised. As the season progressed, I saw no signs of improvement. A truly talented rookie ascends quickly then may or may not hit a rookie wall.

 

With Cyprien, it appears that the NFL hit him right away, and not the other way around in the late season. You can't have this out of a second round pick.

 

 

 

I agree with this.  Not only was he a 2nd round pick but he was the #33 pick in the draft which is comparable to a late 1st rounder (e.g. Ravens, 49ers, Patriots...).

 

That said, I'll give him the benefit fo the doubt since he hasn't seen any talent close to what he saw last year -- after all, FIU did go 3-9 with wins coming off of Akron, South Alabama, and FAU.
