That makes perfect sense, but then it raises questions.

"If they're letting him play again..." who is "they?"  I've heard nothing saying his career is over.  Usually when something like that happens, it hits the news and the guy retires.  Tennessee allowed him to play, as did the Senior Bowl.  Would they have let him play had they not done the lab work?  Why wouldn't they have done the genetic disorder blood work immediately after determining the clotting issue?  How long would it have taken for those results to have returned?  Are there other unidentifiable causes for blood clotting NOT attributable to a genetic disorder that could preclude him from playing again?  Do the anti coagulation medicines have side effects that would hinder his ability to play?

His appearance in the Senor Bowl dampened my enthusiasm towards Brown, but at this stage of the draft, he would be worth a look.  I would add him to the list of guys I'd consider.

Yeah, I think he let his weight get a little out of control.  If he weighed the same at his pro day I'd be more concerned.  He lost lile 20 lbs though in between which shows me he took the criticism seriously.  I also have faith in our new coaching staff to keep him in shape

That's what scares me about Brown. How disciplined can he be when he lets his weight fluctuate like that? He showed up at the Senior Bowl, (arguably the biggest opportunity of his life) and he looked like a fat, slob. He was slow, out of shape and was constantly getting whipped all week. If we draft him, can we trust him to stay in shape? If he didn't take take the Senior bowl seriously when he knew scouts and coaches from all 32 teams would be there, how do we know he would take the NFL seriously once he gets paid? That is a major red flag to me.
