Yes. That potential means he will decline every year until he settles in at around a 65 unfortunately.

Potentials are generally a good indicator of overall. Example: if a player has an 85 potential and an 85 overall, they will generally lose attributes in one area to accommodate improvements in other. 85 overall is pretty much there ceiling. However, there are exceptions. Sometimes guys will perform above expectations and their overall will go up. I have also seen guys overalls go up 1 or 2 without a potential increase, but then the next year the will usually decline back to there potential
