Marshon Lattimore is injury prone.

How exciting does this player sound?  Freshman year, he had a hamstring injury/surgery that caused him to redshirt the entire season, including the post-season.  The following redshirt Freshman season was plagued by, you guessed it, hamstring injuries, that forced him to miss a spattering of games.  As a redshirt Sophomore, he played one whole season as a starter.

Then he followed it all up by getting injured at the combine.

Not that anyone should care, but he wanted to clarify that it wasn’t his hammy this time.

Riiiiiight.  Sure thing, Marshon.  Unless Pace has a patent pending on a regenerative hamstring surgical procedure nobody else has ever heard of, he should be very cautious about the “uber athlete” guys who have leg injury history.  A 4.36 forty and a 38″ vertical doesn’t do much if he’s on the training table.
