How many potential number 1 overall picks in the history of any sport have flunked a physical?
Again, I find it really hard to believe that a GM on the verge of making a franchise altering pick that will likely determine whether or not he keeps his job would have such a laissez faire attitude toward the medicals of his future franchise quarterback. I could be wrong, but I highly doubt it.
This is the highest stakes in the sports world, not tiddly winks. It’s a no-brainer that any GM would definitely prefer to have such vital information sooner, rather than multiple weeks later. Caleb is the “generational” quarterback prospect in this draft, and this is a new era of player empowerment. Being Caleb is the near unanimous #1 pick, I’m sure Poles was willing to wait it out, if not thrilled to do so.
