Bowers has "long term issues"

The way we hear it, two potential top-15 picks could be significantly affected by results from the Combine re-check. According to multiple sources, Clemson DE Da'Quan Bowers and USC OLT Tyron Smith both have received very concerning, low grades after having what was said to be meniscus surgery on their right knees following the season. Bowers has been very slow to recover from January surgery because he already had what three team doctors deemed to be microfracture surgery, and his knee condition is considered to be degenerative.

"He should get better with added strength," one NFL executive said. "But he will have future problems because the damage is too bad."

"He's talented," said another top executive, "but that's a lot of risk to take. You might not get much in Year One and how long is he going to last? Our doctors said he would be lucky to play out his rookie contract. He's a very humble kid. You hope he could overcome it. But we couldn't take him where we are picking (in the middle third of the first round). Someone else might. We would discuss it in the second round."

Really sad news for him :(

Yeah, that's terrible... but I suspect he's known all along how bad it was.

He definitely knows. I had it back in June and the doc tells you very clearly what the prognosis is.

He is done, I wouldn't draft the kid at all. I might sign him as a UDFA to a couple year deal with bonuses built in, but there is no way you can have a kid that young with a knee that bad already and take a real chance on him. I don't see the knee from an NFL standpoint getting any better than it is now.

Not trying to be funny or anything but I call smokescreen. This is something a team will say to make a player fall to them. Mean but very realistic.

Why would this top executive not take him in the first round but in the 2nd while saying he will not be any good the first year and might not finish his rookie contract? So they will draft a dude who might play a year or two in the 2nd round? Come on. This time a year you cant trust anyone.

Wait and see Bowers will now play the next 13 years in the NFL:)

      Ocho says Leggette is coming to see him

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Is Ocho going to run routes for him and catch the ball too? Because that is the only way I can see this helping, but hey at least the dude is trying something because he just saw his stock drop heavily in yr2, from COKER balling in big spots and TMAC winning OROY hitting 1K in his 1st year in the NFL! (Oooooh that felt good typing!) I still think he may be a serviceable WR but honestly DM still needs to keep flooding the WR room with talent imo, so XL better try something and quick. Otherwise he will be another bust and washed out of league in 2-3 years.

      BREAKING: Falcons stud DE James Pearce Jr arrested for beating a woman

      Fug the Falcants, I'm here for this poo. No 1st rd this year, their last yr pick is a horrible human apparently which will only make a team toxic eventually...... on another note! $2500 Bail bond for Domestic violence, BRUH this country is worried about the wrong things sometimes.  People wonder why women in DV cases typically get murdered by these entitled, toxic pieces of poo.  This dudes career should be over but it won't be.  Jerseys of his will be sold and bought.  He may win an award later in his career even.  The NFL will POSSIBLY "Suspend" him and claim they support women's right to exist peacefully.  Instead of banning dudes like this indefinitely for life.  People don't change, he will do this again. Those are facts not an opinion.
