Again. Notice the link. The link sends us to the article about his combine performance now, not about his diabetes, despite the quotes from April being about his diabetes. No idea what happened. It looks fishy to me. -
In this destin article today, he has a little bit of it. https://atozsports.com/indianapolis/adonai-mitchell-colts-nfl-journey-with-type-1-diabetes/ "He's been diagnosed as a Type 1 diabetic. "You're going to have to assign him, somebody, to be next to him for his first few years because his issues are all about his diabetes and his blood sugar," said a second scout. "When his blood sugars are off, he's rude; he's abrasive, he doesn't pay attention in meetings. It's why you get really, really cruddy character reports coming out of Georiga and Texas. But when his stuff is normal, and they get him normal by lunchtime, he's out at practice high energy, a best practice player, and loves football. He's got Garrett Wilsonesque catch radius, athelic ability, and body control. But he's almost uncoachable. A third source said diabetes was a major concern. "You've got to look out for it an he's got to take care of himself," he said. "Every diabetic does. Theres some questions but at the end of the day he's a good player that hasn't done anything overly malicious. He's probably just immature."" So yeah, they either changed it or something else is behind the pay wall. -
Yeah, it's on GoLongTD's site, and paywalled. But here are some relevant snippets: -
I disagree. I don't think any team is basing their draft decisions on what Bob McGinn is reporting. The scouts that are quoted in this article (presumably) work for NFL teams. Those teams already know the opinions of these scouts, and would have done their own work on the players being discussed. If I run a team and my scout starts talking about a player having some issues, we're having a meaningful discussion about it before we put him on the board. If any reporter puts something out that's factually incorrect, sure, he's responsible for that. In this case, a reporter is sharing the opinions of sources, and he's framing it as such. If someone wants to take that as verified fact, that's their choice, but that's probably not a good idea.

On offense, 4 of 5 of our top receivers, 3 TE's, 1 o-lineman and our QB are unproven. So what is Ballard's rush to sign now, anything other than a young, talented prospect? Why waste $$ on a declining good player that wants considerable guaranteed money on a multi-year deal? Or why jump now for a decent vet? There should be a few shots no later than final cuts for Ballard to go after someone we like. If not, next years off season and draft should bring the final solutions.
