Landon Dickerson blew up my story idea.
I figured coming out of last week’s medical combine, finding a player most affected would be a smart play for this week’s GamePlan column—getting a guy who’s going through and/or coming back from something serious, and has been hit particularly hard by the weird circumstances of 2021. And on paper, the two-time All-SEC linemen and winner of the Rimington Award, given annually to the nation’s best center, was perfect.
Dickerson blew out his ACL in the SEC title game in December, an injury that cost him the Sugar Bowl, playing for a national title and essentially any opportunity to show teams who he is physically ahead of the draft.
