But like with ANY illness that can have numerous side effects, doesn't mean he has them all. We have no clue how severe it is. Will it shorten his playing career, YES. We have a long time to worry about that. If he is there at 15, we take him!

We would be crazy not to snatch this guy up. Will he play 10 yrs in the NFL, probably not. His back condition will get worse as he gets older. But for right now, he'd be a steal at 15!

How many qtrs can you go, full speed? I'm just trying to get a reference point.

I don't have it and doubt I could last a qtr.

Well i'm 40 and how old is he? From whats been said, he has spinal stenosis.
I have that and disk degeneration disease, 4 bulging disks, narrowing of the facet joints and arthritis all through out the lower back. So maybe a qtr

Spinal arthritis buddies!!!

I have the ankylosing spondylitis, how about you?

So the kid is advised to leave the game and instead he plays two years of lights out football at an aggressive position in one of the top defenses last year in the toughest conference in college football.

With no ill affects.

I'd grab him at 15.

It hasn't seemed to affect him so far.

4everSaint · 02-24-2013, 12:22 PM

Whether we take him or not. I just hope the young man makes the right decision for his long term health. I love the Saints but not at the risk of someone playing football when maybe they shouldn't.
