Quote:How could you think a kid that big and young having 2 shoulder surjuries and already showing signs of arthritis is anything more than damaged goods at this point?


I don't see how his injuries could be overblown. Young 300 pound men with shoulder problems in their early 20s don't last long. We all remember Boselli.

 

 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">“Jonathan has really played without symptoms in his shoulders, and it’s something that has not affected his performance or function,” [Alabama team doctor Lyle] Cain told me. “It doesn’t have to be treated during the season. And he’s had a couple of great years.” - usa today

Jonathan himself is not concerned one bit...


 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Questions have been raised this week about whether Jonathan Allen’s shoulders were going to be an issue that affected his NFL career. On Saturday at the NFL Combine, the defensive lineman out of Alabama answered those questions by telling reporters, “Not at all, not at all.”

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">“My shoulder feels good,” Allen said. “Every doctor said if there is a problem it’s after football, way after football. I have no concerns at all.”

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">Allen said that he has arthritis in his left shoulder, but doctors did not place restrictions on any type of workouts he may do because of it.

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">“It might be a problem 15-20 years down the road,” Allen added. “This is probably the best I felt in the past four years.”
