I'm really excited to see what he does under RM and a full training camp. I think a lot of people are forgetting about this guy.

If his back holds up, he would be interesting since he has excuse for low production

Yes, OU changed from a 4-3 to a 3-4 I believe in his junior year.

Just hope he stays healthy. Backs are a bad deal.

I thought it was his junior year. I know his sack total went down from 5.5 as a SO to 3.0 as a JR.

I really liked the pick but I'm bummed about the back issue. Can't wait to see him play.

i do not remember anyone mentioning that a NFL player with it.
Athletes do go back to sports. But chance for recurrence is not clear from what I was able to read.
From: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/553959_3
Football players, especially offensive and defensive linemen, and gymnasts are particularly susceptible, because both sports involve tremendous degrees of hyperextension and vertical loading. Up to 15% of college football players may have spondylolysis,[18] whereas gymnasts may have an 11% incidence of spondylytic defects.[15]

Nfl.com's comparison are the WOAT. They hold zero weight. They compared Jason Williams (yeah, from the infamous special teams draft) to James Harrison. Saw several terrible ones from this year's class.
