A lot of people seem to love that idea, but there’s now at least a slight medical red flag.

Enlarged aorta.

According to seven teams, #Bama LB Reggie Ragland's enlarged aorta is not expected to alter his football career. He just must watch it close

What does that mean?

Well… “aneurysms are a concern because they weaken the wall of the aorta.”

That comes from the University of Michigan’s Frankel Cardiovascular Center.

Ragland probably isn’t at high risk of an aneurysm because he’s young, athletic and, we presume, doesn’t smoke.
