Right no one ever comes back from injury 🤣. If we were so concerned why did we bring him in as one of the 30????? And if everyone is SO concerned why is he even ranked at all?? Kid worked hard to make it back to play the game he loves

Guys stop playing, I wouldn't call it " retire" Well he was "medically retired" meaning they wouldn't let him play for them(Washington I believe). So he transferred and got a medically cleared from UCLA after gargantuan effort to come back. This was 2 years, ago and the kid has been playing at a high level since he was cleared. This wasn't last week. It was a nerve in his neck I think. Further injury to that area could have paralyzed him. So they did a fusion in his neck. Took time to heal. But this kid loved the game so much he made the comeback effort. He could have quit 2 years ago,but he kept at it. Perfect fit for our culture. I think he would have gotten hurt in the 2 years he has played now? I see him as no more injury risk than anyone else who's had an injury because it was long ago. He understands life is short and you gotta kick arse while you can. I still think he has more room to improve with professional coaching. If you don't take him,that's ok there are other guys around,but if we do,I would have NP with the choice. He still has another 9 months left before he plays anyhow,so basically 3 years as passed and he is fine and he is a beast
April 7, 20242 yr Author Anyway,with Latu if there were any real issues he would not be ranked in round 1. Of course that is not the bible,but it would seem to me he would drop out of that round. We saw jones drop into round 2. This kid would be the same if there were any outstanding issues. So not really worried about it much. And he's still a better choice than MS2 HAHAHAHA

No doctor/patient deal I am aware of. I'm sure our med staff dealt with all that when he came in and I'm sure other teams did the same. If there wee red flags I'm sure the whole league knows by now
April 7, 20242 yr Author https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laiatu_Latu So basically 2 years have gone by. Is it a risk? Possibly. Then again he is a top notch edge. Maybe another one falls we like better but we didn't have any more edge rushers in for a visit
April 7, 20242 yr Author Next guy up would be the homer-Chop Robinson. Probably could get him without moving. I had him on my mock for awhile,but IMO Latu is alot better

April 7, 20242 yr The guy was not cleared at Washington…but then UCLA finds a way to clear him if he transfers to their school. Might not be fishy….but sure sounds that way.

You never got a second opinion before surgery ever??????(or in this case AFTER surgery) If one doc tells you you can't do something or you never will again,you just BUY it without another opinion?. If we select him you don't think our docs know what they are doing? Sounds to me like Washington just didn't want to be sued in the event they let him play and he got really hurt. Nothing fishy about not wanting to be sued. More Washington wussies is my take(on the other coast)

April 8, 20242 yr Have until May 2nd to extend DeVonta before having to make the fifth year option decision .

Just a guess by me,but makes sense. At any rate I assume we will do our due diligence. 2 years clear with no issues sounds like he is fine. A neck fusion isn't the end of the world,it's fairly straightforward. Protecting the university. Perhaps Washington had no disclaimer clause and UCLA did,thus one would clear him and the other wouldn't

He's my 1 pick at the moment.Like him hate him but it's a Howie pick,so if he picks Latu, Ham can hate him AND Howie at the same time. Ham would be in heaven
