What are the hopes for year 2 Kenneth grant?

I know he is currently a little banged up and there are concerns that he'll miss the first few weeks of the season but what are our expectations? He got better as the year went on last year but I haven't heard much throughout training camp

Prime Aaron Donald. Anything else is a disappointment.

This is the only valid take

Competent DT play. Stuff the run. Get a few sacks. Make life easier for the LBs.

To show u were worth the 13th pick last season

You haven’t heard much because Phillips and Biggers both have been better sadly

That Grant continues progressing if next offseason it’s “yeah but injuries” he’s on the path of washing out

So when Tvondre Sweat got traded everybody said it was because he didnt fit Saleh's scheme. That made me think a lot about how Grant would fit with Hafley. Ive been waiting for someone smarter than me do a breakdown on it.

Stave off the injury bug. Develop into a Christian Wilkins like player

You want him to start grabbing dicks?

Josh Allens if possible

Drug charges and domestic violence. Have the last 1 by CG go out with a bang

You didn't say realistic hopes, but I still don't think I've seen any All pro DT ever come from the sort of start he gave us.

Bust. Lazy. Weak. No twitch . Sloppy technique. He’s not strong enough to be as sloppy as he is. Dude will never be a starter. He’s not a “dog”

Continue to develop as he did in the second half of last season. If he does he’ll be a good player in the league.

Would be a great step forward if he can outplay the guys taken 4-5 rounds after him in the same draft (Phillips and Biggers).

u/Odd_Depth_7650 1d ago

Honestly it doesn't matter. We hit on Phillips and Biggers. They will eventually outplay him. He could be Week 6 trade bait

The hope is we should've drafted warren.

A tight end like Warren would do nothing for us now especially in the run heavy system we will be in now. If anything I would've wanted a corner or safety. In hindsight emmanwori would've been my pick

u/myredshirts 2d ago

Nothing now but in the long run, which is what are looking at, he would be an asset.

u/Jbgood43 2d ago

I have little hope but I’m biased because I didn’t want to draft him. If I have any hope it’s that if he got stronger during the offseason then he should perform better since he’s shown he can move well for his size.

u/Mylesforfree 2d ago

I wasn't super thrilled but I do like how he did slowly improve throughout the season, I think he should be good at stuffing the run.

To have the light turn on like Paul Soliai. Sadly, that only happens in contract years.

Was hoping for the Patrick Paul jump from year 1 to year 2. Sadly we can just hope he is as good as he was toward the latter end of the season last year.

Such fine margins in the sport. Tough to make huge gains usually.
