Saulsberry specifically commented on how he had a difficult time at the beginning of fall camp - so he probably got a bit behind. I think he's got talent, which is why Bronco would reshirt him rather than just linger down the depth chart (see O'neil Howell).
I don't think any coach is crazy enough to redshirt a talented player that you desperately need at a position that can make or break you just because he came into camp out of shape. How long does it take to get in shape? These are 20 yr old kids with 5% body fat (CB's).

If he's redshirting it means he's not that good.
