“…the injuries piled up over his career: missed final four games of his sophomore season (and 2021 spring practices) because of a Lisfranc fracture in his left foot that required surgery (November 2020); suffered a torn pectoral muscle in his left shoulder during offseason weight training (March 2022) and then a sprained right foot (August 2022), which forced him to miss the 2022 season opener (and play hurt in several other games); suffered a minor hip injury during Senior Bowl week (February 2023) and didn’t play in the game.”
Ugh. I'm not excited about that pick. I wanted a CB who comes without an injury history. Hopefully he stays healthy and can contribute.
That's 4 injuries in 3 years I count. That's not even a trend, that's a PATTERN! just....great! sigh!
Happy with the draft this year, looking forward to pre-season. Best pick on day 3 for me is To'oTo'o but happy with the rest of the guys.
When I 1st read this I thought OMG, Nick's getting smart! He's trading down and getting a pick next year! Awesome! Then I realized it was US that traded the next year's pick and............c'mon, you know what word's coming. Here's a hint it starts with an O.....and ends with a VERPAID!!! I have no problem with the player, but like always Nick gets pantsed in the deal. Did he give up two 7th's(1 this year, 1 next) for one 7th? No he gives up a 7th AND a 6th for a 7th! Admittedly compared to some of his other deals this one seems positively benign, but he's still LOSING the transaction!
