Medical advancement on ACL tears has come a LOOONG way even in the last few years. What use to require 1-2 years, can now be a 6-8 month process. Depends on who did the surgery, and what technique they used on Nate. Another factor is the how quickly he mentally recovers from surgery as most guys tend to favor the injury...especially guys who have to cut and stop a lot...which describes Nate's position at AB.
Remember this, in CPJ's system, doesn't matter how gifted you are with the ball, if you don't take care of your blocks you're not playing. What all the hype about Nate tells me is that he was a more than capable blocking as well.
I'm excited to see our AB group as a whole. The most athletic and dynamic group of ABs we've ever had. Mark it down: Our ABs are going to put up some crazy numbers this year.
