Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Could concussions increase the frequency/severity of seizures?

Wow. I bet it affects his position for sure.

I do not think it will effect his draft position.

Is that more or less serious than Jones managing his case of dad bod?

That was a misunderstanding on Mac's part, see... His agent told him he needed

That seems like a scary combination with footballs potential for brain trauma.

It could have already affected his position. It could explain why he’s fallen in projections

I don’t think it’s unfair to mitigate risk. Huge PR risk if he has a seizure in

For the whole league it is a risk. But he has choice too

He hasn’t shown the ability go through progressions

And that’s not true, if you watch the film he goes through progression

I’ve heard it a lot too but PFF did the math and it’s been de-bunked.

Nah. He was just streaky. He’d kill it on check downs one game and struggle

Lots of flashing lights in the NFL. I wonder how that will affect him. Having

It’s not the flashing lights that will be the problem. It’s concussions. Even head trauma can be much more dangerous for

Sad. If true, he drops rounds, not just picks. May not be drafted.

I'm not sure I would spend $20M on a pick with a disease that could put him out

Nat Gas Man
