Albert Breer confirms: A handful of teams have raised knee and hip issues to me concerning Alabama OT Evan Neal

[TheSpecialJuan]

Tiebreakers are sometimes needed at the top of the draft. And when it comes to which offensive lineman goes first Thursday, the medical piece of the equation could be a big one. A handful of teams have raised knee and hip issues to me concerning Alabama OT Evan Neal, with a good number of clubs considering him a notable medical risk

We stayed away from Trey Smith (Chiefs) last year due to long term medical concerns. This is quite a big revelation

some teams just want players to slide to them and will push them to them if necessary

It's not like any team have significantly better doctors than the rest. 

They'll all see the same things on the scans - some teams are just more risk averse than others. There's no wool being pulled over eyes here.

Still don't think it's a huge concern because it's just a few with concerns. 

I would like to know what it's based on, but I still would love to have him anchor the OL for a long time. Serious stud potential here.

He weighed 400 pounds in high school, maybe just early onset wear and tear. Also in the big boys club youtube thing his standing stance is knock-kneed, opposite of bow-legged, kinda made me cringe thinking about those knees
