Only thing stopping Hankerson is Hankerson. Poor work ethic is holding him back

Oh shit! Is this his story at Redskins Park and do we know if they're trying to mentor him?

Why do you act as if these guys are high school kids? These guys are grown adults. If they need "mentoring" at this stage in their life, chances are they are too stupid to be playing football and don't deserve to play in the NFL.

I think that's a bit harsh NC career professionals in all kinds of industries have mentoring programs for newcomers and advancement employees.

As far as Hank goes, if he is lazy being around guys like fletch, III, and the hardworking leaders of our team, then I do not think a mentor would help him because honestly they are all around him.

I guess it's me admitting that in my early/mid twenties maturity wasn't my strong suit, and these guys are rich and famous to boot making good choices even more difficult.

...in fact, thank God I didn't get rich young it would have ruined me. Can you imagine how big an asshole I'd be today??

And 40 years later the problem still exist.


No need to imagine, I can picture it clearly.

Good point Goat. Even Trent Williams had some growing up to do. Thank God he did because he was pretty awesome last season. There's a receiver in Dallas still playing among others that would be quite a stretch for me to call grown adults.

I remember a couple years ago there was a member on this board who kept trying to tell me I was stupid because I thought Hankerson was going to be a flash in the pan, if that and that because I wasn't giving him cold, hard statistics, me going on a feeling and judging him by his inconsistent college play and lackluster first year play was small-minded.

Glad to see I wasn't completely wrong.

Smoot, do you think Hankerson will get things together or do you think he'll end up just being a busted draft pick?

I fear that Hank may improve but still never develop decent hands. I fear he will remain Mr. Drop. I hope that I am wrong.
