My recollection is he had a history of nagging minor injuries. I don’t think he was technically red flagged by anyone, nonetheless I’m sure there were concerns. He was picked earlier than most projected him. It’s fair to say he was a bit of a reach where he was taken. The Cards needed a rusher in a draft in a lean draft for that position. Still his rookie year was actually on pace with developmental prospects who became useful players. IMO he still has a chance to be a solid rusher assuming he hasn’t been impaired by his injuries. I expect him to have a decent contribution this year as the Cards figure to have a challenging rush coming from numerous pressure points. If they get a DT who can collapse the pocket, this will be fun to watch.

He was one of the youngest players in that draft. He doesn't turn 23 until April. He was drafted where he was due to the stage he was at just 20.

I am on record as being highly skeptical of Beej, but I cannot argue with your post. This is a level, reasoned take, Harry.

I was hoping we'd take a flyer on him. Especially at that price

He got surgery after the draft, bro.


There's nothing in there about BJ's participation in the Pro Day Drills. I've already posted that the draft sites never had a measured 40 from him. "Under the circumstances" in that video is doing a lot of work.
I'm not saying it didn't happen and he didn't have a minor nick.

I'm saying you saying it was an injury concern, doesn't make it an actual injury concern. That is you contradiction the NFL staff, 32 teams and 200+ media outlets.

BJ had ZERO history of injuries. In the official NFL draft profiles there were ZERO injury concerns. ZERO supporting information from any expert that you should avoid BJ due to injury.

Thank you maybe we can put this argument to rest.
