Long, long time ago when I was playing high school football I suffered an elbow dislocation and remember when coming back how they told the odds of suffering another were greater than those who'd never had one in the first place. But that would have to weigh on the mind of a young man playing ball in college with a potential pro career thinking about his Draft status so that he might pull some punchs so to speak, and not execute picture book tackles to get his man on the ground.
This guy looks like a good prospect to me and given the uncertainty about Clowneys return and his contribution to the team this year, I'm glad that they drafted somebody who's got some experience and production as a pass-rusher.
