He was the Top DT of his class..not understanding where the hype would come from is not understanding your own fan base..just like posters/fan think Zo is the best RB but we won’t play him..it’s all a conspiracy

Yeah the conspiracy is that these recruiting sites are clueless. Nesta and Lingard had no business being ranked where they were and I said that when they were being recruited. I wasn't the only fan who liked Davis/Harris better than Lingard.

Nesta is a motor guy. He's physical and pursues hard to the ball. The rest of his traits are underwhelming. We've been through this before with Forston who was overrated and hurt half the time, but at least Nesta will compete harder.

Lingard is a high-cut, straight-linish upright runner. That skillset doesn't translate well to higher levels of football. Darren McFadden, Derrick Henry and Tevin Coleman are examples who failed to live up to the hype in the NFL. Hopefully Lingard will get healthy and develop into a Coleman type, but even then we need an OL that can spring him into open space.
 
Too harsh from the OP, but I agree with the sentiment that expectations on the field haven't been met.

No, we are not in agreement on this. Both are elite prospects. But the OP said he didn’t understand the hype. The hype comes from them being national prospects that everyone wanted. That has our delusional fan base excited. But, per usual, the fans take it too far with their expectations. Truth is both have just been injured that’s held them. Both need to play in order to let their talent shine. But at the same time expecting them off injury to come in play like the freaks they have the raw talent to be is premature. Lastly Marcus forston was not overrated, just injured
 
Oh look. Another troll with here to trash one of our players. I guess the kid is supposed to be invulnerable. You sound like an idiot.

The hyped player who hasn’t played is always a fan favorite.

He may be great. We’ll soon see, hopefully.
