And still looks like he can add definition. Dude is big, fast strong as hell and still looks like he can get bigger and stronger.

Jesus! A real football type comment. Anybody got oxygen handy, not sure my heart can take it?
There's so much hot action going on right now. Maybe we can talk about how shapely Montravious Adam's ass is.
I saw this dude Sunday at practice. He was a handful... Not sure if it was him or a crappy oline, but Gary was getting consistent pressure. He also dropped an INT from Arod.

Disagree. Not very shapely IMO.
“Nice bubble.”
Oddly enough it qualifies as a football term, but, it shouldn’t.
PACKERS vs. RAVENS: Packers DL Rashan Gary
Drafted: Round 1, No. 12 overall
GRADE: D
The Michigan product is an explosive athlete, but those traits rarely translated into impact production as a collegian. Gary remains the ultimate tease at the position, based on his natural gifts and underwhelming disruption. Despite playing significant snaps for the Packers on Thursday, No. 52 didn't make much of an impact against the Ravens. He failed to record a tackle or generate a pressure, which is disappointing from the No. 12 overall pick. The rookie struggles to finish his pass-rush efforts -- his inability to corral the quarterback after a winning move is a bit of a concern for a player expected to make an impact early.
Worth noting? Pettine has said do not read too much into Gary's "production" in 2 PS games. He's cross training into a new role he didn't play much at in Michigan..
One reason #Packers rookie Rashan Gary has gotten extended snaps in 2 preseason games is because he’s transitioning to new position, Mike Pettine said. A lot has been on his plate. As they look to Week 1, Pettine says they’ll start narrowing Gary’s role to maximize his strengths.

While this definitely needs to be taken into consideration, the fact that he's not even registering occasional tackles against 2nd and 3rd teamers is a bit concerning.
Demovsky brought up his lack of production in an interview this morning. No problem giving him time to develop but until he begins producing the knock on him coming out of UM will hang over him like a dark cloud.
Right now I'm trusting the Angry Bald Man.
The kid has been in the NFL for about 6 hours. Can we give him a chance to learn?
Occasional tackle, is that some sort of specialty?
Learn? Sure, he deserves time to learn how to drop into coverage. Rushing the QB and tackling the ball carrier, no. He's been doing that for 4 years at MU.
If only they drafted TJ Watt, we wouldn't even be here.
I would have liked to have seen Gary show a bit more, but it is extremely early and he may get used differently once they start playing for real. Gary's youth and age are both a blessing and a curse for the Pack.
The curse part, he's coming into the NFL with less experience than say a guy who was a 5 year player (4 years + redshirt) is. When Clay Matthews Jr. played for the Pack as a rookie he was 23 years old. Gary is 21 and won't turn 22 until December with only 3 years of college and no redshirt year under his belt.
The blessing, by drafting him young, maybe you get him 1 year before he would have "bust out" at Michigan to the point that maybe you would have needed higher than the #12 overall pick to grab a guy with his standout athletic tools. Kenny Clark was also drafted young and while he didn't have a huge immediate impact, he really emerged last year.
Here's to hoping the athletic gifts eventually translate to something on the field, preferably in about 16 days. 
Like any player, Gary deserves time to learn, grow and mature into the position.

MU?
We're also not counting on him to be our primary pass rush this season. We can afford to be patient. What we do know is that he 1) is an insane athlete with size/athleticism to be elite 2) he has thus far shown a great attitude with high effort and a willingness to listen to veterans and 3) Mike Smith has a proven track record of developing talent...regardless of what coach-speak we hear, those things are all facts and should give plenty of optimism that he's going to be just fine. I don't remember any of that being true with guys like Perry, Datone, Khryi, etc. I know we're jaded by failures over the last decade with high picks on defense, but this is a different team with a different staff.
Montgomery is also supposed to be a nails DL coach so if Gary is going to be used as more of an elephant, he'll get good coaching there too.
Countdown to first post suggest they try Gary at TE...

I'm guessing that's what they mean by cross training. They are teaching how to avoid making plays.

No! I need instant satisfaction. He needs to look like LT on every play.

Or maybe just make a single tackle after 4 quarters against a bunch of guys that won't be in the league in a couple weeks
It will be a surprise to me if Gary turns out anything more than pedestrian. Every outstanding player I've seen has an instinctive element that allows them to dominate the type of player that fills the preseason roster. Their biggest challenge is to reign in their instincts so they don't get dominated by their equals. Gary might have the measurables but his instincts aren't to rag doll the guy in front of him. They appear to be to study the playbook, seek guidance, practice the instruction given and apply those lessons learned when their applicability is recognized.
Right now he's pegged somewhere between Jamal Reynolds and Richard Seymour. Time will tell.
Guy is in a great situation...proven coach, about as good of example to follow as there is in Za'Darius, and not a ton of pressure as he's OLB #4 right now. Big, strong, fast, work ethic, coaching, etc....up to him.
