Virginia Tech cornerback Caleb Farley is an elite talent. At 6-foot-2, 197 pounds with blazing speed, Farley has rare traits at one of the most important positions on the field.
However, after Farley’s agent broke the news last week he was having a back procedure and would miss Virginia Tech’s pro day, some began to worry.
Sure, Farley’s agent said it was a minor procedure, and he had the surgery now to be ready for training camp. And, most believe he will. But when you mention a back injury or back surgery for any athlete, it does become a concern.
