further than that. I would imagine he just dropped to 3 or lower. Crohn's is serious.

Absolutely. I would not be surprised at all if it will shorten his career by at least 5 years. That really sucks for him.

It could be significant because Erin Henderson went from a 2nd round pick to not drafted because of the issue of him not having an ACL.

i just don't see anyone draft him top 10 now. He'll be lucky if he doesn't drop into round 2. Of course it depends on where the disease is specifically located.

can't be good

isnt an ACL a little more important when it comes to football than this issue

Mecca 03-10-2010 05:05 PM
Teams aren't to keen on drafting guys that they won't get numerous years out of anymore so there is a good thought that he could fall into the mid rounds.

No because he's fine now, he fell because they thought the issue would shorten his career, and this would be the same for McClain.

would you spend a 1st round pick on a guy who is a game time decision EVERY week? Crohns can flare up anytime and he would miss a game.

it's not like diabetes which is fairly controllable.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get drafted at all. I hope he took advantage of that free education. One of the problems with Chrons is you might not be able to keep weight on....key for an NFL football player.

He'll get drafted, just probably not with a 1st rounder now.

I think the Chiefs would use a 2 or a 3 on him if he did fall that far.

Because of Crohn's? Give me a break. When it flares, you do a course of Methotrexate and back to the field. How many times has it affected his play in college? Dude is getting drafted, I have no doubts about that.
