I think I see a problem with that argument.

There are two high-level prospects dealing with big medical questions leading up to the draft.

Washington wide receiver John Ross' talent is not in question, with teams believing he is a football player who happens to be fast, rather than a track guy trying to play football. He's one of the most talented players in the draft.
However, the medical report on Ross has scared teams as they've set up their boards for the 2017 NFL Draft in Philadelphia, which kicks off at 8 p.m. ET Thursday.
2017 NFL DRAFT

•  Mock drafts | Mayock | Jeremiah | Brooks
•  Seven-round mock draft
•  Mayock's top 100 prospect rankings
•  Jeremiah's top 50 draft prospects
•  Brooks' top 5 prospects by position
•  2017 NFL Draft order for all 7 rounds
•  Draft needs for every team
  

There are a handful of boards he is off, sources say. Other teams wonder if he'll fall into the late-first round or early second round because of his injury history.
He missed the 2015 season with an ACL and meniscus repair and had microfracture surgery the previous year. He also underwent labrum surgery this past March.
One source close to Ross said he has had no problems with his knees and while the history might scare teams, "there is nothing new that has showed up." Some teams are afraid, other teams are OK with it.




I hope we stay away...  I am not an expert but competitive and body wise, college to pro's has to be more demanding on the body...
