That he's decided to bring this to the forefront raises him in my eyes. That he's been able to achieve the level of performance that he has at a major college program in a top conference considering what he had to deal with is very impressive.

If you want to sell him short because of this "new" information rather than what he did on the field, then that's your prerogative.

Dude, I don't think you understand the seriousness of a disease like Crohn's... He has likely been VERY lucky so far. At any time it could worsen and his career would be over.

The reason he brought it to light is A) it would have been found out anyway and B) he used it as an excuse(most likely a very valid one) for why he couldn't even complete his pro day workout

I agree. I worked with a guy who had Crohn's. It was ****ing horrible. Literally was eating him away from the inside. McClain has been lucky so far and you don't know the severity of the disease as it relates to him. And it does affect how teams will perceive his value. However, he did play at a very high level for his entire college career.

I don't know. I'm not sure where I'd consider him in the draft at this point. It's a tough situation for both McClain and prospective teams.

It's rather baffling that a dude that's is mainly known for ridiculous power (Cody) was out benched by Rolando McClain.
