There are still 222 picks remaining in the 2016 NFL Draft, and some of college football’s best players last year still find themselves without teams. Some, like Michigan State QB Connor Cook, are simply waiting for a team in the right situation to make the call. But for UCLA LB Myles Jack, there are injury concerns preventing him from being selected.
Jack has been an outstanding linebacker for UCLA the past two seasons, but teams are worried about the status of his knee. Jack tore his right meniscus during his final college season, and it’s been reported that he, at some point, will require microfracture surgery.
For right now, Jack is ready to play at the next level. He posted a video of himself dunking on Friday afternoon, letting the internet know that for now, his knee is fine. But that doesn’t stop GMs from worrying how Jack will adjust to the every-down, 16-game schedule of the NFL season. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein has Jack going 38th overall to the Jaguars, right after the Chiefs select Alabama LB Reggie Ragland, who is dealing with similar injury concerns.
Let us know where you think Jack will fall in the poll, and tell us why in the comments section below.
