Default TE Brian Mandeville advised to retire

Dissapointing news, I thought this kid was going to have a solid NFL career:
Doctors advise TE prospect Mandeville to retire (heart ailment) - NFL - SI.com

Quote:
Top small-school TE Mandeville has heart ailment, advised to retire
By Tony Pauline, TFYDraft.com

INDIANAPOLIS -- Brian Mandeville, the talented small school tight end from Northeastern, may have seen his NFL career end before he ever suited up for a Sunday game.

During a routine exam at the combine doctors noticed something out of the ordinary with Mandeville's heart. A further inspection led combine doctors to the diagnosis that Mandeville may have an issue with one of his heart valves.

Mandeville has since been informed by the examining doctors here in Indianapolis that he should not play football moving forward, and it seems his dreams of playing in the NFL have likely ended.

....
I wish him well.

You could say he was lucky he got invited to the combine,, no telling what could have happened otherwise.

Must be very unusual for a 20 year old to have heart condition like that, good luck to him in the future
