Rolando McClain discloses that he has Chron’s Disease

Very difficult disease to live with, yet alone play with. My hats off to him. My father has been fighting this illness for years now. I will be rooting for McClain to succeed in the NFL.

I really hope you're joking about Tebow.

My heart goes out to him

but from a sheer football perspective I would be opposed to drafting him at #5.

The only thing more lame than mock draft's is the sarcasm font.

It does make you wonder that

this admission will drop his draft status.

How could it not?

it has too

Not being an ass, but if I were a GM, I wouldnt spend a 1st rd pick on him. Seriously!

by Larryemcdaniel on Mar 10, 2010 4:43 PM CST up reply actions

That's what I was thinking too.

Wow, takes your breath away.

It’s like let’s have a moment of silence for him & pray that he fulfills his dreams while he is still capable. Sad time for a great athlete. God bless him,his family & friends.
