ExWNYer Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 At some point before #9, we will all be doing this...guaranteed:
snafu Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Who's that guy's agent? Why couldn't that news break before day one of the draft. Something smells funny. 1

ddaryl Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 yeah if team doctors haven't verified this then its all agent speak IMO

There's legal ramifications lying about or botching something like this. Teams also don't want to tip their hands before the draft so will generally stay quiet about these things.

Expand its very suspicious that the news is let out the day oof the draft.. Yes there will be legal issues if it was botched...
BuffaloBillies Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I don't like it. I don't trust either news (the old news or the new news). My opinion... stay away.

Maybe they just wanted that positive news fresh on GMs' minds for the draft, or they only just found out themselves. Suspicious implies some nefarious reason for it, and I'm not really seeing a reason to see it that way. Suspicious would be hacked clips of a player smoking a bong being released hours before the draft.

Yes there will be legal issues if it was botched... Expand There may or may not be legal issues involved on this. I would need to see any waivers that prospects sign to be part of the combine and associated medical exams. My guess is that the No Fun League has iron clad protection for themselves. In terms of proving financial damage and thus liability, the player would need evidence to prove that another team or teams would have drafted him earlier had it not been for the medical issue. A steep hill to climb legally. I agree that all of this and the timing seems suspicious.
Toesy Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 The whole thing seems like a red herring-even if this kid has some heart issues it does not mean they would necessarily negatively impact his NFL career as a DE-what is far more statistically likely is serious problems would arise down the road after his NFL career is done. NFL players overall have shortened lifespans but this does not necessarily affect their NFL playing ability/production.
Wayne Cubed Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 I've always thought whatever it is with his heart, if there was or is something, it must not be a massive deal at all, they let Sweat compete at the combine. You don't do that if you suspect somethings wrong. Our own Star Lotulelei was pulled from the combine and not allowed to participate because of an abnormal heart exam. Which turned out to be fine. This stuff happens, they do get it wrong.

Doc Brown Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) I guess the check Belichick wrote to the combine doctor bounced. Edited April 25, 2019 by Doc Brown 2
