With the 2016 NFL Draft kicking off in just a matter of hours, a tidal wave of new reports has flooded the football world. The latest concerns first-round hopeful Reggie Ragland, a potential target of the Green Bay Packers. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Alabama linebacker has an enlarged aorta, a condition that requires regular monitoring and may push him down draft boards.
Many believe Ragland, perhaps the top true "Mike" linebacker in the draft, could land to the Packers at pick No. 27. While the team has a conservative reputation when it comes to medical concerns, Rapoport also reports that at least seven teams do not expect Ragland's condition to affect his football career.
