Hes going undrafted now

Keep on sliding down to 20

 

[Leomaz]

He’ll definitely be there at 20

Fine fine fine but does he drive his grandma's Toyota Camry?

 

[Anytime23]

Draft him.

Not happening. Still top 10, probably top 5

I hope he gets drafted to a 420 state and the NFL grants him medical exemption for Marijuana, possibly the best epilepsy medication.

My kid has epilepsy and with the medications he takes to attempt to manage it I think it would be impossible for him to play quarterback at a professional level.

He's also blind so I guess that factors in as well.

But if he smokes weed, he'll drop (Tunsil)

Can he jump out of a pool though? (right back up to #2) ?

Should be fine as long as he is taking his medication. Draft him.

I have read that weed is a treatment for epilepsy.

This guy is one rumor about having herpes from dropping to the Bears. Don't give up hope, fellas.

CBD oil is extremely effective and legal for all.

At least his dad has a good sense of humor!

Wow, this is a big deal, no? I'm not sure if this changes my mind on drafting him or not...

Talk about him out growing it, because his family history shows that...I wonder how many in his family have played football at the college level, let alone the NFL level?

It's very manageable now days. There are people in my family who have the worst form of epilepsy and used to experience grand mal seizures on a weekly basis. Leaving them no choice but to collect S.S.I disability. They haven't had one in years. Allowing them to get off of disability and pursue careers. Looking at Fields case. He had a very mild form of it to begin with. It's a non issue.

Put a cigarette in his mouth and he's Jay Cutler.
