Have we always, as a collective, been this obsessed about true freshman playing and contributing? I feel like this is relatively new. I guess the 2017 class just kind of reset expectations for some people?
It's aggravating, the say the least, and even more aggravating when people use our stud draft picks' college careers as revisionist history for what they actually were as freshmen.
Reuben Foster (1st round) played in 6 games and had 12 tackles as a freshman.
Rashaan Evans (1st round) played in 9 games as a freshman and had 14 tackles and 1 sack.
Damien Harris (3rd round) had 46 carries for 157 yards and 1 TD as a freshman.
Jonathan Allen (1st round) appeared in 7 games with 15 tackles and 0.5 sacks.
Daron Payne (1st round) appeared in 8 games with 13 tackles and 0.5 sacks.
Marlon Humphrey (1st round) redshirted as a freshman.
We have regularly had freshman 5-stars not make immediate impacts and go on to be 1st round draft picks.

The bigger problem is you will HAVE to depend more on freshmen than in the past with the one and done.
They just might get parity into play going forward
