That's about as bad an injury as you can have apart from a back issue.

It can absolutely be the death of a player's career. It's very serious.
It "seems" like the people that are "in the know" in terms of analysts still have him as a first-round prospect post-Combine. That's usually pretty telling on the feedback trickling through from team physicians that maybe there is some level of comfort with the healing process.
Now, other guys are dropping out of first-round mocks with known character flags in Luther Burden III and Walter Nolen. That seems to indicate that there was chatter that teams weren't as comfortable with the off-the-field as maybe we thought they might be.
