Expand Right but the point is they thought whatever they found out AT the combine was serious enough not to let him participate. Precautionary. With Sweat, they supposedly found this condition and then let him participate anyways. If it was serious, it's his heart, you don't let someone participate in drills and do things physically if there's a change he collapses at the combine.

NFL players overall have shortened lifespans but this does not necessarily affect their NFL playing ability/production. Expand

Did they or did they not let Star participate at the combine because they thought they found something with his heart? Hint: They didn't. Did they let Sweat participate after they supposedly found something with his heart? Hint: They did. Ok then. Facts. Edited April 25, 2019 by Wayne Cubed

Yes there will be legal issues if it was botched... Expand I doubt there will be any legal issues. It was the NFL's doctor opinion of the tests they ran. It is called practicing medicine for a reason. I am sure all the teams have access to the tests and scans so they can come to their own conclusions but they just dont make them public for obvious reasons. Maybe the teams doctors agree with the doctor at the combine and maybe they dont.
