Bad news for TCU's M. Cannon

[PATSNUTme]

ProFootballWeekly.com - TCU's Cannon diagnosed with lymphoma

Let's all hope that it is treatable and that it won't effect his playing career. It looks like it may cost him in draft position.

Last week they were heavily denying he had cancer....I guess it was lymphoma. It's good news that it's treatable and I wish him the best of luck.

Jon Lester came back from lymphoma, so it's not at all out of the question.

Last week it was testicular cancer, this week it's lymphoma, next week he'll be in Pittsburgh being introduced as their first round pick. One would think the NFL is getting ready to hold a draft with all the negative information floating about.

Translated: Until his agent confirms this new cancer claim, I'm not buying - especially from PFT!

We're talking about athletes here, not baseball players.

Lance Armstrong says "hi", if you're thinking baseball players (especially pitchers) aren't athletes...

p.s.: yes, I know Armstrong had cancer, just wanted to point out that I don't think the comment was appropriate...

Results of the tests were sent to all 32 teams.

Standard, please update me when a reliable source confirms the story. The kid sliding to Day Three, his agent, Adam Schefter, Rick Gosselin ... you know, something more tangible then a report like the one made claiming he had testicular cancer.

Very sad indeed. Let's hope for a speedy and full recovery.

He wasn't on the Pat's boards anyway, except for the ignorant mockers. BB and Dante don't take or have any immobile, fat, hulks as Offensive linemen. I can't even name a single one from the past ten years.

Still I wish him well.

Short memory! Cannon isn't on my shortlist either, but he's more athletic than Ryan O'Callaghan was:

Cannon 6'5" 358 5.26/3.07/1.84 33 30.5" 08'09"
O'Callaghan 6'6.5" 344 5.39/3.16/1.88 21 25" 07'08"

p.s. best wishes for the young man's health

Now let's see the agility numbers.

4.83/7.97 and 4.97/8.07, which is which?

I didn't include them because O'C's were from his pro day only, with a notable home-field bounce in every category...

As are they all, still it's the only data short of film ... and on film these are not Scarnecchia favorites.

He wasn't on my board. However I thought it was worth bring up on the draft forum a story about a draft prospect from Pro Football Weekly, not to be confused with Pro Football Talk.
