- yeah he had to be joking when he posted that. -
So he had a cervical fusion... this is a surgery I do frequently. Once it heals the surgery is more or less the strongest part of the neck. The biggest problems with a fusion in this context are: (1) loss of nerve function prior to surgery may or may not recover after surgery, usually over the next 3-12 months (but his production after surgery implies no major concern on this) (2) the patient will have somewhat accelerated wear/arthritis at non fused levels. While this is a real concern, it will unfortunately be more of an issue for him later in life, after his NFL career. Peyton had this surgery as his final neck surgery before playing for the broncos, but his problem was number one above, he apparently never had the same arm strength as before. Ahmad Bradshaw also had this same surgery in 2013, he already had I think 6 years of RB play prior to that. His YPC held up but was utilized less, but this may mirror more a tapering RB career. I'm not personally worried about the medical status of this player, but I have no idea the actual details obviously. I will say that very few surgeons would be eager to clear the player to play afterwards, mostly for the stupid liability things in medicine. I think it's fair to say we got a really nice pick here for value. -

Love the Latu pick. We got a great football player instead of a raw athlete. About time, this kid is great and the best EDGE rusher in the draft! Very happy! -
You know Coach Partridge was integral in this selection. Paye could be moved, potentially during the draft? Doubt they pick his option up now. -
