Vander Esch’s stellar showing against Oregon was the exclamation point on an improbable college trajectory. A little more than a year earlier, as Avalos was pushing to expand Vander Esch’s snap count, his burgeoning protégé was forced to miss seven weeks with lingering headaches. What appeared to be concussion-like symptoms turned out to be a neck issue that was easily resolved with a trip to the chiropractor. “It was like, ‘I missed all this time for that?’” Vander Esch says. “That just ate at me, and it still does. If I hadn’t missed that time, people wouldn’t even be questioning me coming out this year.” He still wears a neck brace, but despite rumors of medical red flags, it’s more for comfort than necessity.

* After the Dallas Cowboys cut Dez Bryant a few weeks ago, the team immediately brought in Courtland Sutton for a workout and social media was ablaze with the belief the SMU junior would be the team’s first-round pick. As we wrote just a few days later, the Cowboys view Sutton as a second-round target. The other big-bodied receiver they are considering in Round 2, assuming they go defense in the first round, is Marcell Ateman of Oklahoma State. Ateman and Sutton worked out side by side for the Cowboys on the same day, which was soon after the team cut Bryant. Ateman is the type of long wideout the Cowboys like, and he has a size advantage over Sutton. As we posted more than two months ago, the other team with a lot of interest in Ateman is the San Francisco 49ers.

Why would any team that actually removed a player from their board because of an injury concern tell the media? So that word spreads? Wouldn't they want other teams ahead of them to pick the player? When I hear news like this, I feel like teams really want the player and are doing anything they can to try to make him slip.
Would teams let the public know?
