Yeah it's a horrible injury but I don't feel sorry for the guy forgoing getting his college degree to bust out of the NFL. He'll end up in jail or on welfare. Book it!Rotinaj;1339728 wrote:Wish him the best of luck. Horrible injury.

It's easy to place such little value or hope that the kid could make a full recovery and contribute, but the same injury ten years ago doesn't have the same recovery time or results it has today. A. Petersen blew his shit OUT, didn't think he would be available for the opener, and with 500 yards over the next three games can break Dickerson's single season rushing record.
Hope he gets his shot.

Would love for the Bengals to take a flyer on him. Montee Ball early and him late and I'd be happy.

I'd be happy if the bengals took him in the 6th or 7th and most Lilly not mad of they took him in the 5th. The dude has amazing talent and with players recovering from injures the way they are he is worth a shot.

What screws him a bit is it is his second bad injury like this.
Plus, RBs are valued as high nowadays in the NFL.
Someone will probably take him late in the draft as others have stated.
If i remember right McGahee had some super agent who blew smoke up everyones butt about how he was gonna be ready and such.
It worked and he got drafted.
Depends on how welll his agent can convince teams.
Probably worth a 6th - 7th round pick

Would not surprise me if the Vikings draft him.
