Which do you think makes teams more cautious about prospects: injury prone or character problems

April 30, 2014 by Mike Dussault

I’d go with character problems. I’ve never really believed that “injury prone” is truly a thing. There needs to be a study on it. There are certainly a small percentage of guys that truly are frail, but just because a guy has a couple injuries, even if they’re major, doesn’t necessarily make him injury prone.

The way “injury prone” gets thrown around you’d think 50 percent of the guys in the league are injury prone. Football’s a tough sport, a lot of times you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

And there’s certainly an art to avoiding unnecessary contact.

The real injury prone guys are the ones with constant muscle problems -pulled hamstrings, hip flexors, stuff like that. Pretty much what we saw out of Ras-I Dowling.

But contact injuries can happen to anyone. Sometimes it’s just bad luck.
