Speaking of wasted draft picks, anyone heard from Sheldon Rankins lately?

Really? The dude was one of the better DT’s in the league before his injuries.

By that metric, Cam Jordan was also a wasted 1st round pick. No, Rankins has not been the same since his injury, but he was really turning a corner two seasons ago. We really missed him when he went down and it sucks that he hasn't returned to form yet.

Rankins was a solid pick. I think he's dealing with injuries right now.

Rankins is losing time to an UDFA

Our 100 million dollar man MT has, what, 3 catches for 17 yards? No one (except AK) is playing well right now... maybe give it a beat before you start singling out individual players for criticism.

Ruptured Left Achilles
Broke left fibula
Right ankle
Haglund’s deformity in both heels

That’s a lot of lower extremity issues for a big fella who works the trenches. Don’t wanna say he’s done but likely lost a step along the way

Insane that your body could just completely betray you by 26 freaking years old.

it does suck because pre Achilles dude was on the verge of getting paid

lesson for those that get pissed when guys hold out, one injury likely cost him millions of dollars.

No, theu would've paid both of them.
It's looking like this will be rankins last year unless he takes barely any money
