I recall hearing the same. The difference is that he didn't get hit in practice last year. That's about to change. One thing I'll say about JC, I saw him take some huge hits and pop up ready for more. He may be tougher than we give him credit for.
Crompton isnt a Jonathon come lately, he was a highly recruited kid out of HS. He didnt become a retard over night. He has all the potential in the world to succeede. Maybe some coaching up will do the trick. That or being in a system more suited for him.
