2013 NFL Draft - Saints Big Board

Who reported that about Jarvis, his agent? Because I haven't heard anything, you would think that would've been on the news somewhere. If true that changes a lot.

In a medical report that was sent to NFL teams, leading orthopedist Craig Brigham refutes that Jones ever had a significant spinal cord contusion. When he was at Southern Cal, the pass rusher was diagnosed with one, and Southern Cal did not allow him to play in 2010. Jones transferred to Georgia and played two seasons with no problems. Brigham concluded that Jones either had a very mild incident of spinal cord concussion or merely a stinger that has long since resolved. Even if another similar injury occurred, Brigham concluded it would not be a career ending issue. After recently examining Jones, Brigham concluded, “Jarvis is cleared to play without restriction.”

Thanks JP, wow he is now in that handful of players I'd take with that 15th pick.

I read the same thing somewhere... can't remember where, but Jones has been cleared and apparently he never had the spinal stenosis to begin with - misdiagnoses.

[Danno]

I read there isn't one single pass rusher in the entire NFL that ran a 4.9 or worse. Not a single one.

What do all of these players have in common with Jarvis Jones?
Nick Fairley
Antonio Coleman
Carlos Dunlap
Eric Norwood
Marcus Howard
Greg Hardy
Wallace Gilberry
Jamal Anderson
Derrick Harvey
Willie Evans
David Pollack

They all led the SEC in Sacks. Only a couple of those guys I'd consider among the NFL's best.

Fifth Round: Cooper Taylor, S, Richmond

Taylor has all the tools to be a very good safety in this league for a long time, but just like Jones his medical condition (Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome) causes teams to pause. So that's why the Georgia Tech transfer was rated as a 7-FA before the draft process played out. That is about the time that Taylor started rising. He was cleared medically and proceeded to tear up workouts.

Measuring in at a 6' 5" and 238 lbs, he is massive for a defensive back. That big of a safety should not be running 4.55 in the 40-yard dash, but he does. His footwork and decisiveness are also some of the things that are going to make him a steal in the fifth round.




6'5 238lb safety running 4.55
My God,somebody created a monster

Is it wrong to like the idea of him hitting Roddy White?
