Three teams at the workout told PFW’s Nolan Nawrocki that Bowers struggled. They had his forty times in the mid 4.9′s and don’t think his knee is healthy.

“He’s not ready. He was hobbling around out there. The shuttles were bad. There’s no way to sugarcoat it. He cost himself millions of dollars,” one team said.

that is what i was thinking. i doubt he'd last until the 3rd so we won't get to take advantage but some team will get him in the top or mid second and could be a steal then. even if he needs microfracture surgury and is out another year he will recover and he has tremendous talent once he is healed. i know team will want their 2nd round pick to not sit two years but if they can get him fixed up and ready for 2012, especially if 2011 never happens, then they've really lost nothing! at most, they lose 1 year.

Blake Griffin lost his rookie season to injury and look at him now.

Said in the other thread. He'll have a chance to be another Greg Hardy (underdrafted overachiever).

Did he likely lose millions on his first contract though? Probably not as much as it would have been without a rookie salary cap (still in discussion) but yeah.

No way in the world he drops as far as Hardy did.

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
