DRAFT Welcome to New England - Illinois Edge Gabe Jacas! (2nd round, #55)

[reflexblue]

Campbell is taller and heavier than Tunsil, Williams and Sewell (by an inch/a few pounds). Prototypical LT size, except for the wingspan.

I' not saying he can't do the job at LT, i always felt he could. But i will say he needs to get into the wgt room. Even though he was about 320lbs a lot of that wgt is flubber. I remember he took his shirt off during a celtics game and vrable comment he New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel joked about firing the team's strength coach after seeing a viral video of rookie offensive tackle Will Campbell taking his shirt off and chugging a drink at a Boston Celtics game.
Now back to jackass..i mean jacass

I saw a video of WC working out with about a half dozen pro bowl LT tackles at a summer camp. He looked like a midget in comparison. They all were physically bigger and looked much stronger

He’s 6’6” 320, the other linemen must all be 6’9” and 350 pounds.

Must have been the camera angle

What is your allegation about “ apparent non-disclosure of injuries” based on?

Disagreement about terms of the participation agreement seems unrelated to disclosure. I doubt details of customized participation agreements are routinely discussed pre-draft. Seems much more likely the team surprised Jacas and his agent by changing the terms from the standard participation agreement. We have no way to know whether that changes was made in response to some undisclosed information regarding the injury or procedure, but it seems irresponsible to assume it was without evidence. So, what is that evidence?

On my walk this morning I listened to the Tom Curran & Phill Perry podcast, they admitted it’s been hard to get information on the situation, from what they pieced together the Pats didn’t offer the camp injury waiver that states if you get injured in camp you still get paid, they mentioned they did this because of an injury/surgery that wasn’t revealed to the team, if any of that is true to me that’s the agent saying we shouldn’t tell the team and a young man believing his agent is doing what’s best for him.
