La Canfora: NFL execs say anonymous reports on Myles Jack overblown, 'disgusting'April 19, 2016 1:53 pm ET

“This Myles Jack stuff is getting blown way out of proportion,” said one NFL executive. “I checked with our medical guys, again, and this stuff just is not true. It's not something we would be worried about. Some agent or some team must be behind it. We're not taking a linebacker there (in the first round), but if we were we wouldn't have any problems taking him. We passed him without any real issues. This kid is a great player. His change of direction is awesome. This is getting totally blown out of proportion.”

Another high-ranking NFL executive: “Disgusting. There was a (different) leak last week about a top prospect and a procedure he had. The fact that the procedure happened in high school was buried in the report.”

Another personnel exec: “If you get a feel for who has killed Jack for his medical, let me know. That kid is a player. We hope he falls to us.”

Full article is a good read and sobering reality in the NFL. Regardless if you view Jack as a prospect for the Cowboys or not, the truth matters.

Thanks for posting...still don't want him drafted at 4 to Dallas but don't want the kid to lose out on great money and a lifelong dream either.

Sad that any team and/or agent would reduce themselves to this......

I do not think Dallas is in play either for Jack but I get tired of people bashing this kid without warrant.

 

[Idgit]

Pretty much what I assumed when the report came out of Philly. It's silly season, y'all.

 

[CowboyChris]

I'm pretty sure any team picking in the top 10, will know exactly what Jack's status is.....i doubt anyone can spread a false rumor just to get the player to fall to them.

The first quote actually sounds like it could have came from the Cowboys

Maybe the stories are overblown but then again, some teams make mistakes on injured players all the time even when their docs clear them.

There's something not right with his knee. How major or minor, I don't know. But, at least from the perspective of picking 4, I'd pass on him without blinking.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Jaguars are probably hoping he is there for them at 5.

that's the team that seems to be the most interested.

This is being honest, we just do not know enough on this side of the matter, the teams do though!

I smell smoke and mirrors. There is something behind this garbage!!!!

Todd McShay: Myles Jack's knee is not gonna be a big issue for most teams. He won't fall far, if at all.

Over-reactive nonsense. When a player gets red flagged and it comes out, so what? No report said a thing about him tumbling out of the draft, or falling significantly. It was vague, some teams were okay, some weren't.

If you want to have the feels for someone, pity Jaylon Smith.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Looks like opinions are all over the place on this one. NFL Network reported this morning that he may need another procedure and that the reports coming out about his re-check were accurate.

Furthermore, those anonymous NFL executives should go on record with their thoughts.........

I think they will on draft weekend.

Hey, remember how last year Jay Ajayi was a 2nd Rd prospect before everyone on twitter said teams were highly concerned about his knee? Then we kept hearing how it was a ruse and disgusting and teams were just trying to push him down? Anyone remember what happened on draft day?

We will know in 9 days.

Yup. All I'm saying is not to immediately dismiss it as a ploy to get him to drop.

 

[Plankton]

What's more disgusting - a team making these allegations anonymously, or a reporter publishing these comments?

Seems that the teams have accomplices in this "disgusting" behavior.
