Wow, surprised there's no responses. My thoughts are with Byrd and his family. What an awful set of circumstances to happen right before the draft.

I wonder what his options are? Honestly, I don't think anyones going to take him on Sunday. If he improves can he be taken in the supplemental draft? Awful situation. I don't know the facts behind it, but lets hope it wasn't his fault.

Man, this sucks so much. I guess the hopes are that he can live normally more than play football again at this point.

Here is a picture of Byrd's car after the wreck that I'm pulling from another LSU blog.

Kid is lucky to be alive.
