So they rebuilt RGIII but they can't make him faster than he was because he was already super fast.
Adidas provides the edgy comeback narrative reminiscent of Nike commercials; "All in for week one".
Chances are he'll be just a little bit slower recovering from his knee surgery but will work to make himself a better overall player in time IF his knee holds up. By having the pressure of the hype to be good to go in week one he may be setting himself up. Now you would think if anyone can do it RGIII can. The autograft from his non-injured patellar tendon is stronger than his previous graft and the word is that the surgery went well and he is ahead of schedule. RGIII is not a comic book hero, however, and is only too human when it comes to vulnerability in his knee as we saw at the end of last year. There are some adjustment after knee surgery and sometimes the donor side can have irritation. Secondary fibrosis healing can take well over a year even though that is not he main healing. Let's hope for the sake of his career that Dr. Andrews is not pushed by the franchise, RGIII's own exuberance and the pressure of the hype to play before he is ready.
