You hear about athletes suddenly dying from these. Enlarged Aorta's aren't uncommon. However, treatment requires invasive surgery and in some patients it's very risky. Really sorry for Reggie Ragland. Tough break for the young man.
It was reported many believed it would have no effect on his career. They would monitor, but didn't see it causing long term issues. Some lowered him, but he will still go. The bigger issues, is he is only a 2 down LB. More of a 3-4 run stuffer.
