Could you guys imagine if the tip three picks for us went like this...

Berry
McClain
Cody

A major upgrade at all three levels of the defense...if the stars could ever align...

Here's a guy talking about it and why it would probably hurt his draft stock...

I also have Crohn's, became very ill last year and was finally diagnosed late in the year. I lost 20 pounds and had so much inflammation in my joints that I went from being pretty fit to hobbling around like an 85 year old man with severe arthritis. As I'm sure you know when you get in a bad flare you can't maintain a high level of exercise; you're not supposed to exercise at all when you're having severe inflammation. It sounds like you've mostly been in remission but for many people Crohn's can become debilitating and require surgery or even multiple surgeries. McClain's medications obviously have kept the disease under control but that could change at any time. If you take a look at the forums at the Crohn's-Colitis foundation (CCFA.org) you'll see plenty of stories of people who were doing fine with a medication and then it suddenly became ineffective.

Absent a major flareup, most of us with Crohn's or UC can live relatively normal lives. But to maintain the level of workouts and fitness required to be a middle linebacker in the NFL for 10-12 years with Crohn's will be a big challenge for Rolando. It is frankly beyond his control, even if he does all the right things. There is the very real possibility that it could cut his career short and I'd be very surprised if it doesn't knock him down in the draft.

Do you know of any professional athlete in a sport that requires a very high level of conditioning (football non-kicker, basketball, soccer, etc.) who has Crohn's or ulcerative colitis? I am not aware of any, though I'm sure there are some.


When it's something he literally can not control, that is going to scare teams.

McClain reveals he has Crohn's Disease

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on March 10, 2010 5:32 PM ET

Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain's Pro Day got off to a fine start with an expected time in the forty.

He didn't finish his drills, however, after getting ill. After the workout, he disclosed he has fought Crohn's Disease since his freshman year in high school. It's treated through medication.

We're amazed this information wasn't out already, but it clearly hasn't prevented McClain from producing. David Garrard was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease during his career and it hasn't slowed him down.

Still, we wonder if this will cause teams to look at McClain any differently - positively or negatively. Perhaps the biggest knock on McClain is his inconsistent motor and effort.

Maybe his Crohn's plays into that, maybe it doesn't. It's just one more piece to the puzzle for teams to figure out by April's draft.

Too bad for the guy, but at least we now know for certain there won't be any 5th overall reaching for him this year.

Crohn's affects every sufferer differently. That's one of the biggest problems you have when you're seeking treatment.

It could have little or no impact on his ability to perform ... or, it could effectively disable him. And, the kicker is that there's no way to predict which way it will go.

It's a bitch of a disease.

David Garrard has Crohn's disease. Has it really hampered him?

I don't know. All I can say is he's a very inconsistent QB.

But he's just one example, you could draft McClain and watch him be fine for 3 years and then see his career basically end.

It's something that he really can't control and you're taking a giant risk so that will drop his draft position.

Damn. You too, Mr. Cosmos? It's like a damn epidemic around here. What's going on?

I need to do some research. Perhaps it's merely anecdotal, but it sure seems as though more people are being diagnosed with Crohn's than ever before.

I wonder if the dairy industry is currently checking for cows infected with M. paratuberculosis? It's one of the potential causes of Crohn's and, if milk is infected, it could possibly explain why so many people are having problems.

Please cease and desist from discussing milk in this thread. Lindsey Lohan might sue.
