They are people.That comes with a lot of baggage.
Slater & Samuel had pro athlete dads who coached them as kids, may have helped get them on track.

Some prospects hit the ground running but most will go through adjustments in the NFL.
K9 is in his 3rd defensive system in 3 years. He is thinking too much and it’s really affecting his aggressiveness, situational roles, and his run fits.
There are not many athletes who are 6’2-1/2s’’ / 246# / 33’’ AL / explosive, fast, physical, high IQ, huge motor, off field grinder that come along.
I had K9 as the #9 Overall prospect and #2 OBLB. I think we got major value but he’ll have to prove it on the field. He’s only 19 games in to his career so chances are he’ll be an outstanding player. K9 did set the all-time Bolt record for TKLs as a rookie. Better than Seau so must be something to work with.
Murray really came on late last year in his last 4 games but with a year in the NFL under his belt, hopefully it wont take that long this year.

I agree with most of what you said. But no way in hell do I have ASJ on Ruggs. We have two speedsters with length to utilize against the tight end and Ruggs. Braylon Edwards is a much better match up for Asante. Renfro gets covered by whoever is playing the slot
Size-wise, skill-wise, and experience-wise, ASJ is the best matchup for Ruggs. Yes, Ruggs is a bit faster on the track, maybe the combine turf, too. But football speed is different from straight-line speed.
I do not see Ruggs burning ASJ if that’s your concern.
On the other hand, I will cringe if CHJ covers Ruggs. Speed will matter then. If CHJ ran a 40 today, I’d guess 4.65Our quarterback is a golden god.

CHJ? Yeah that's not who I want covering them either. I honestly think we need to have both Michael Davis and Campbell on the field vs this particular offense. Yes I think Ruggs speed is absolutely elite, and I'm not knocking Asante at all, I don't think many can run with him . I am very aware of track speed and football speed, Ruggs can outright fly anytime and anywhere.
Renfrow is not a burner, but he’s slicker than a lube salesman. Short 4-6 yard routes on crucial downs is his bread and butter. He knows the subtle tricks of route running. But cheap tricks don’t work so well on savvy vets like CHJ, a guy with the experience to have seen every slot trick in the book.
But honestly, I don’t wanna see CHJ matchup with anyone else on the Raiders roster.Our quarterback is a golden god.

Folks is folks.
One of the things I like most about sports is the work ethic and reinforcement of doing the right thing. Successful stay at home pro dads point out that path early on but it,s FAR from being the only way. One of Merriman's coaches basically adopted him.
