    Here's the thing about injuries ... they can happen at any time and often come as the result of non-contact situations ... it's part of the risk of playing sports.

    You hate seeing them at any time to anybody ... but barring anything uniquely significant he'll end up being fine in the long run ...

    Even if it is year ending for his first professional year and hurts his draft stock, the likelihood is that he'll get picked by a good/great organization that has the depth to be able to stash him for a year.

    Things happen for a reason ... you never know why at the time but they tend to work out in the long run.

    First paragraph is spot on.

    After that, I have a hard time with this. He's going to lose a ton of money on his first contract, plus probably endorsement money. And I don't think the odds that he ends up with a great opportunity and organization are any better or worse than he was before the injury.

    Sometimes the reason things happen is we live in a shitty broken world.
    Also a fair stance ...

    There's always a chance a team with a lot of picks like Cleveland would be willing to draft and stash ... but more often than not it is the smarter teams that are willing to draft and stash.

    No question that he'll potentially lose money on his first contract but with the way the draft salaries have been curbed you tend to get paid now with your second contract. If one falls out of the first round I'm pretty sure you get through your first contract faster so who knows how it plays out in the long run.

    As for endorsement dollars, I can't imagine it's THAT significant ... I don't think Marcus Peters has significant dollars ... endorsements tend to go primarily to offensive players.
    They don't get big money but earlier picks get better initial deals. There are local ads too and water is wet, but a first rounder gets those before a later pick.

    I wonder how many schools have two guys at 11'3"+
    Not many at all. Those are insane numbers. The vertical jump numbers are crazy too.

    I love Tim Socha.

    Only 14 totals since 2006 at the combine. UCONN has #1 and #2 with Byron Jones (12' 3"!) and Obi Melinfonwu this year (11'9"). They must have a solid strength coach too. That's probably about all they have.

    Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles in 15' and came back in 16'. Had 8 sacks and 40 tackles. I think an edge rusher relies on explosion and quickness. Suggs is up there in age.

    Sydney can come back fine. He has youth on​ his side as well.

    But whatever, you guys can write him off.

    Damaryius Thomas' entire NFL career is post Achilles tear, but you don't repair 20-30 Achilles tendons per year so quit saying stupid shit.

    Going to help you out. Once the MRI is reviewed it will tell you how far it has retracted. My assumption is it retracted 2-3 cm from its insertion point and is a midstance tear. From what I remember, Thomas had an insertional avulsion not a midsubstsnce tear, I could be wrong. Apples to apples, we don't know what type of injury and not all are created the same.
    If it was an avulsion in Sydney Jones of the entire Achilles' tendon unit from the posterior superior aspect of the calcaneous, you could inject PRP and stem cells like Amnion (they have flowable amnion as of November) and perform a PARS technique, minimally invassive with a horizontal incision. Reach up grab the tendon with a Kocher forecept, pull it distallly and perform your P.A.R.S., take the fiberwire sutures and then put your anchors into the Calcaneous. Anchor the PARS sutures into the calcaneous using a blind tunnel technique and since he's an athlete over tighten and place in somewhat equinus position so he doesn't loose as much power. This will probably create more of a problem later on as with all equinus deformities, genu recurvatum, hyper pronation, etc etc etc. The key feature here is not doing an end to end anastomosis, with a krakow suture but rather using PARS and Calc anchors. Using Amnion to regenerate tendon and reduce inflammatory response would be key
    AGREE

    You obviously know more about this shit than I do. I think it's way premature to assume we know the extent of the injury, no?

    Until that point, I'll stand by guess/hope that he's young enough to recover unless it's absolute worse case scenario.

    We are both devastated by his injury. I truely hope he recovers fully and will be watching this closely. Kobe had a more proximal injury, it required doing a lengthening and end to end anasamosis.

    In all honesty, we are in a better place today than 5 years ago with Stem Cells. Amnion and PRP do amazing things for soft tissue healing and tendon healing. Hopefully they throw the check book at his medical care (experimental and not covered by many insurances) and he gets everything a professional athlete does, like Suggs and others
