Why is Aaron Anderson not talked about being a key piece?

Probably due to the injury that kept him out last year at bama and spring at lsu.
With issues bama had at wr last year he probably would have contributed something.
Maybe will get more info when Kelly meets with media before fall camp about where he stands health wise

I don't think we have a feel yet for how much he will be used offensively this year.

People are probably also curious to see how he bounces back from his injury and if he has lost a step.

Time will tell

Probably because we don’t know what he has yet. Tons of potential and game changer but how does he come back from injury? We just don’t know yet.

If healthy he is a significant upgrade from Lacy. Lacy has to bump outside for most part. I dont like Thomas, nabors, Lacy as 1,2,3, since I don't think Lacy fits that Jefferson inside role. And nabors is such a threat outside, dont love moving him in a ton of snaps.

We need Anderson healthy, as that'll give us biggest special teams rags to riches y/y possible.

Well this is a horrible uneducated take.

He didn't play any at Bama got hurt during spring. Taking reps from Nabors, Lacy, and Thomas Jr will be hard. Also fighting against Hilton and all the other freshmen. Really nothing to talk about but ST until we see him in actual game in college.

I’d say with our existing rotation, his best bet to break in is to show some kr/pr acumen. If he shows his electricity there, maybe coaches see he needs to be on the field and needs the ball in his hands in certain packages/situations. At least until he can consistently break into the wr rotation.
Also, it never looks bad on a “resume” to bust arse on special teams.

Dude is coming off a major injury

No telling if he is back or not

Could be amazing, could me meh ala Boutte post injury

Prob the best hs receiver I’ve watched in 10 years.

Basically I think it's out of sight, out of mind. Until he's seen on the field there isn't much to be said. We know his potential already. Now we need to see him.
