Frank Gore has dyslexia. That seemed to have worked out.
This kid will sit for 1 or 2 years. We'll be able to evaluate him in that time. If he doesn't cut it...no big deal, it was a late 5th. Very little risk...huge reward.

I heard he is pretty smart. The only downside on him is his height. I read once Joe Montana has Dyslexia. I don't know if that's true but if it did it shouldn't matter.

One is a RB one is a QB. HUGE difference. But you're right about the low risk high reward thing.

That shouldn't really be a problem. Davis said that he has no problems learning playbooks.

He made a good choice playing professional sports and highlighting his strengths instead of say becoming an English teacher.

Unless he thinks the slot reciver to the left in a four wide set is supposed to run a post when it is really the slot recivr to the right.

Just show him all the plays backwards. He'll get it.
