I think he spent most of college recovering mentally from the high school knee injury as he’s just now shedding the knee brace. He was given the all-clear at the Combine medical evaluation so I’m optimistic about his future. Tons of upside.

I understand Chris, but that knee is still suspect; combine medicals revealed there was still instability in the knee...

Like I said, that was a sleeper pick. I don’t expect the Saints to gamble though. Josh Sweat will go much higher than expected (late 1st/early 2nd.)

I agree. Sweat is a top pass rusher and would love him. but 1st is a reach only because of the injury history...having a leg almost amputated is some serious stuff. just concerned is all
