Not good, not bad, just unusual.

Okay, pre-camp numbers are first:
3040 D.Mecham IF 21r 2 4 7 7 1 1 2 1 9 R R 100 0 0 -- D C
3040 D.Mecham IF 21r 2 4 8 7 1 1 3 1 9 R R 100 0 0 -- D C
I've never seen a 21 y.o. with single-digit TR.

It's not always good.
I had a 30 year old with 19 training.
In DBL. His name was Gale. He was drafted as like a 6-6-6 (co,pwr,df) and like
an ll training. I thought he would be awesome.
At like 24 or 25 his training was a 16, and he was a 7-7-7, or 7-8-7... I
expected him to really pan out.
He never got any better. At 30 his contact dropped back to a 6. His training
was still only 19.
Andy said something about that happens, he missed his prime. His age negatives
started kicking in before he had time to tap his full potential.

I guess it's still better, than a too high training. I just remember that guy.
He's the reason I started paying more attention to age... and a little less to
TR

Again, perhaps my laziness created the wrong impression. I'm not thinking he's
destined to be a stud because he has low TR + decent current attributes. Just
that I've never seen a player that old with TR that low.
Some GMs put much more emphasis on TR than me. I've been following the thread
about the IFL draft, and one poster knocked a QB prospect due to his 17 TR.
That level wouldn't deter me at all.
When I first started in DEL, I thought low TR was key to future progress.
After some experience, I've seen some players make significant improvements
with only a 1 pt jump in TR, say going from 18, which some GMs may avoid in a
draft prospect because it's too high, to 19.
