Tank Dell was hurt in the 11th game of the season against the Denver Broncos while blocking a red zone run. He became caught in an awkward pile. The diagnosis was a broken fibula, and his season was over.
Today, KPRC reported that Dell’s improvement is promising. “The Texans’ dynamic wide receiver resumed offseason workouts with his private coach, Delfonte Diamond, and he looked impressive with sharp cuts in drills that included plyometrics and stability work.”
“To be honest with you, he hasn’t lost a beat,” Diamond told KPRC 2. “He looks ten times faster. Yes, sir, he is a unique breed. He’s moving like he always does. He ran at full speed.
Dell earlier informed KPRC that he would be ready for organized team practices in the spring.
“He’ll be more than ready when OTAs begin,” Diamond stated. He’s well ahead of schedule. I can’t wait to see No. 3 put his helmet back on. That first year was a teaser. He’s planning to raise the price.”
Tank Dell was impressive in his rookie season before being injured. He and CJ Stroud had an outstanding rookie season in the NFL.
Tank recorded 47 receptions for 709 yards. He averaged 15.1 yards per reception. He developed become a reliable target for CJ Stroud, the offensive rookie of the year.
Tank’s trainer discussed his quickness during his first exercises back. Diamond remarked that Tank seemed to be “10 times faster.”
That would be one of the most astounding feats known to humanity. Ten times faster is really fast for a guy who ran a 4.49-second 40-yard sprint at the combine.
