I think the issue just lies in being a rookie. The guys basically play year round and train year round their first year from getting drafted into playing in the nfl with a college season, combine, pro days, rookie camp, otas, training camp, preseason, regular season. There is no break that first year.


This isn't to much of an issue to me. Lately many rookies have talked about these extended rookie seasons. He will be fine going forward having adequate rest the remainder of his career.
