At what point do you just say he's not good enough. It's not like he's seen the field or done much to get off the practice squad. If he's such a monster - why haven't we heard anything about him? Are there a lot of high end edge rushers who came out of nowhere after a few seasons at the bottom of rosters? RB - sometimes. OLB - don't think so.
Yeah, sometimes, they do. Like Shaquil Barrett. UDFA. Zero sacks as a rookie. Avg. just over 3 sacks for 4 years after that. Then in 2019, 19.5 sacks.
The thing about Polite was, he was a mess. Screwed up the combine royally, fell to the third round then got cut by the Jets. Rams put him on the practice squad. Turns out he had psych issues (I don't know of what kind). That is, he was not sleeping--he never slept. So something was going on with him. Presumably, they fixed it, or he would not still be a Ram.
Will he pan out? I have no idea. But it wouldn't be this massively unlikely thing if he did.
