Reported by Adam Schefter.
If true, I would advise not going to twitter unless you want to get pissed. I?m quite sure there are tons of people that will love to say how he deserved it, karma, etc because of a mistake he made as a 17 year old
Terrible
GD that sucks....
Piss on em. Some team is about to get a steal on him in the 3rd or 4th round... Makes me sick for himQuote:

They're trash if soQuote:

Very much a Jaylon Smith type situation without the nerve damage(hopefully).Quote:

Jaylon Smith was taken 1st or 2nd pick of the 2nd round with a similar situation.Quote:

Smith is a star now BTW; Simmons will be too
He's not an unknown, though. He was dominant in the best league in college, going up against the best talent in the nation. People come back from knee injuries all the time, and it's not like he's got a history of injuries. Plus, it's not like it was his Achilles, neck, or spine. He'll be fine long term, it just sucks in the present.Quote:

Lot of hard work and good response from his body could get him ready by the end of December or into January.

I just hate its going to hurt him on his first contract. But we know the second one will be huge. He's that goodQuote:

Oakland has 3 1st round picks: #4, #24, and #27. They aren't in win now mode. I'd come close to betting good money that Jeffrey is a raider. #27 is guess to Oakland
LA Rams at 31. An elite team where he doesn't have to rush but could be plugged in beside Aaron Donald for the stretch run.
He may still get drafted high, but he just wont be able to play for a team until 2020. They will likely work in a minimum contract for 2019 so he can be with his new team's doctors and trainers to rehabilitate after surgery. In fact, they may want their team doctors to do the surgery instead of Rusty Linton. He'll be as good as new and likely better as the new ACL is usually stronger than the original ligament.....it will just push his career back a year. Good thing is that he'll get to know the playbook and his teammates real well, so when he is ready, that part of it won't hold him back.
I don't figure he waits til after the draft to have the surgery. My bet is that the surgery is done in he nest week or two, max.
The faster you get the ACL fixed, the faster you can recover.Quote:

I think this pushes him to late first round. My thoughts for the best chance Patriots, Chargers, Raiders, Rams, or Vikings.
