Huge news regarding Star Lotulelei

[rayzor]

could mean he could just fall to us. If hes there, I still take him.

a big fat man bigger than most should be who is asked to take on more strenuous activity than the human body should be able to endure for long periods of time in immense heat at training camp...with a weak heart.

no thanks.

[rayzor]

<p>Who knows, it could be a false-alarm. I recall Frank Alexander had issues with his results, which suggested NFL docs to believe he had a heart condition, which further testing revealed his heart was in good condition.

could be.

still worrisome and many teams would just not even take on that risk.

[TheRumGone]

Feel terrible for this kid...devastating news

[BigSyke]

naw wouldnt take him.....why couldnt he get in bar fight and drop....why did it have to be this.........lol

[chknwing]

Jerry got a new heart, Im sure he can get him one too.

[4Corners]

I wouldn't draft him but the important thing is here they caught it.

[PhillyB]

yeah this is how we got alexander, who was projected as a 2nd rounder iirc

[OHK]

I'm not going to jump onto the 'he has a heart problem, don't take him' bandwagon. It completely depends on what exactly the heart problem is. All heart problems are serious when you're an athlete and should receive immediate attention, but some are less serious than others. Its completely possible that overall effect of this problem may not affect his playing ability or durability. We should wait to find out exactly what this means before blindly assuming he'll never be safe to play again.

Could be a false alarm like Frank Alexander. If that is the case and he somehow falls to us when really there is absolutely nothing wrong with him, then we would be the luckiest team in the draft.

[top dawg]

could mean he could just fall to us. If hes there, I still take him.

You can't take him without knowing the specifics of his diagnosis and prognosis. You can't take the guy if he could fall out at anytime. The NFL is a business, and a guy with a "bad" heart is a bad investment.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

We'll end up drafting him now, in the 2nd round.

[Millions]

always sad to hear he'll still go higher than 14...u already know.

[CPF4LIFE]

yeah this is how we got alexander, who was projected as a 2nd rounder iirc

That was 4th round this is Top 15.

[The Golden Child]

This is a serious issue for the guy. Heart surgey is a certainty at this point.
