We know Polite was in a terrible downward spiral. He went from projected first round pick, to bad combine workouts, to bad team interviews, then going in the 3rd. Then getting cut by the Jets before the first game after being fined over $100,000 “for tardiness and other issues” then getting cut from Pete Carroll's practice squad.
With the Rams at least Polite did enough to make the team. He did enough to be active on gameday. He did enough to get on the field, and then he produced in his one snap. Maybe he earned a few snaps next week.
He has football character questions, with a very long way to go and will still most likely wash out. But he has put a few things together. He played like his hair was on fire that one snap. It would be great to see more of that from him. I hope he stays after it.
