Quote:Feel bad for the guy the 2 knees and a Achilles!I feel bad for the guy, was the only reason I use to watch Oklahoma games. I'm assuming he is still on Det correct?

 

 I would feel bad for most players if they had both knees repaired and then the Achilles injury.   It's that much more difficult in the case of Ryan Broyles because of his tremendous football and overall character.   Broyles had a very strong 2014 pre-season and the Lions fan base collectively was thrilled that he made the 53 man roster.   Yet,  for whatever reason ( s ),  the new coaching staff rarely gave Broyles opportunities.   This even went beyond Broyles not being on the game day roster because he doesn't offer enough on Special Teams.   Even in the few games Broyles was on the Game Day roster because of high ankle sprain that Calvin Johnson dealt with,  Broyles got very few opportunities. 

 

Ryan Broyles is still on the Detroit roster.  He's entering the final year of his rookie contract.   Hence,  he has a modest cap figure.   I'm not optimistic that Broyles will get a much greater opportunity.    Unless the coaching staff thinks Broyles can offer more in the regular season,   I don't think he will make the 53 man roster.    If that happens,   I'll be still pulling for him.
