NFL teams the next 3 days are going to be looking to see if they can bring in guys who will lead them to what they hope is a run to the Super Bowl.
When making these picks, teams take everything to account. Everything from talent to personality off the field, teams do their due diligence on every player. Another thing they take into account is injury history, and that can play a role on where a guy gets drafted.
Heading into the NFL Draft, one of the top prospects was Michigan CB Will Johnson. However, according to Adam Schefter, teams are concerned about a knee that he has injured during his collegiate career.
Many NFL analysts had him as a potential top-10 pick, but these injuries have forced teams to be hesitant to make the selection. Heading into last season, he was looked at as one of the most surefire players in the draft.
There have been many players who have fallen in the draft because of injury concerns, and many of those guys have gone on to have a great career. Whichever team gets Johnson figures to get a guy with a big chip on his shoulder, and he could end up being a huge steal in the draft.
