How Anthony McFarland’s injured ankle makes him a gem for the Steelers

There is always so much more to a player than where/when they were drafted. There are underlying circumstances to a player dropping, or rising, on teams’ draft boards. A bad performance at the NFL Scouting Combine, a bad interview or even people thinking you are immature can cause a prospect who could have been drafted on Day 1 or 2 fall to a Day 3 selection.

It doesn’t take away from their overall talent, but it means they are things teams need to consider before pulling the trigger on the selection.
