It's ugly, it's terrible, bad luck, ill fortune, whatever one may wish to calll it, every year a given number of the youngest, most athletic young men in the US fall victim to Draft Darwinism... Draft Darwinism is not a Theory, it is a fact, every year a handful of players suffer injuries, arrest, failed drug tests after the have declared for the NFL draft. So far this year's class includes: 1. O'Brien Scofield..great Shrine Bowl..tore acl at the Senior Bowl practices 2. Ryan Mallet...broken foot for this sleeper Qb prospect 3. Bey Bey Thomas...broken foot while practicing running the 3 cone drill Micah Johnson was injured with moments left in UK's final game, not during the draft process, however his injury was just as unfortunate as any of the above three. There was a Offensive lineman who injured their shoulder at the Senior Bowl whose name I cannot run down, he injured his shoulder. Pre Combine, feel free to update list as this process rolls along until the Draft.
If he makes it... Keep in mind Conu, this is more tongue in cheek than anything else typically there are 7 good prospects that have something go wrong for them this time of year.
Mallett will come out next year, if there's a Draft. He would have came out this year and was actually preparing for the Draft the week leading up to his bowl game and the Arkansas coaches gave him hell for it. They then convinced him to come back. I don't see him staying another year, if he has the option to come out.
Personally, I wouldn't draft Bryant. I've been screaming his name for a while now, but everything I'm reading about him is just negative. Give me Antonio Bryant and a defensive player at 12 please. Now excuse me while I change my pic.
