Mack Brown gave examples recently of players who had redshirted, explaining it doesn’t have a negative impact. "We didn’t play (Josh Downs) enough as a freshman. He had Dazz Newsome in front of him. But when he got his chance in the bowl game, it led him to the next year being the all-time leading receiver in one year in the history of our school." (On3.com)
