Caleb Farley has been projected to us by many of the draft pundits. His recent surgery for his back injury is concerning to me. His future could be one like Patrick Peterson who refuses to tackle his opponents due to their own injury concern. fromazcardinals.com Thanks to Darren Urban: www.azcardinals.com/news/cardinals-mock-draft-tracker-3-0

Farley made comments that he had a budging disc in L5/S1 and a microdiscectomy to remove. I personally had this surgery and can advise it's possible to recover 100% from another 1-2 months. I was full sprinting after a month of rehab. That area remains vulnerable for the rest of your life. You have to maintain strong legs and a core, in addition there are times if I do swats or leg press that I have bad back day pains after.
I can't advise how that will hold up after taking NFL hits! Gronk had the same surgery though Junior year of college and held up just fine.

Gronk had the same surgery though Junior year of college and held up just fine. If you were Keim, would you take him then right? He has the potential to be an outrageous steal at our pick position. I think so. Last year, CJ Henderson was taken much sooner then projected, so I do think Surtain and Horn are off the board at 16. As much as I want a trade down scenario and just load up on picks, there are two factors 1. The Cardinal/SK trend-SK tends to stick right where he's drafting. He's only traded down once and traded up once, otherwise he sticks put. He drafts needs or positions that need replacement within 1 year. CB fits the bill on both. After the draft last year, I said the Cardinals will be taking a CB with their 1st. Still think that's happening. 2. It's takes two to tango. Unless the Redskins or Bears want to trade up to get some guy at #16, I dont see anyone really trading up for their "guy". Farley hasn't play in a year and now has back issues, but he's a high risk, high reward pick at a position of immediate/long term need. I would prefer a trade down scenario, get Etienne, and then one of the mid round cornerbacks, but mock drafts arent about what you want. It's what you think the GMs will do! Farley is a prototypical CB. Speed, Length, good at press. If the 1 year off and back issues arent a scare, then he's a solid option at corner.

Gronk had the same surgery though Junior year of college and held up just fine. Once the disc material is removed -- the fiber is called anulus medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/anulus -- there is not automatic regeneration. A complex process of rebuilding with remaining tissue, surgery, genetics, and therapy is possible. For most mortals, the anulus is gone forever and we make do with what's left in the crease, careful treatment, and injury avoidance. In another thread, I mentioned that I had two successful back surgeries, both in the L5/S1 area, which is the most common area for athletes and labor-type workers to suffer an injury. My first surgery was in 1998. I ran my last 26.2 mile marathon in 2004. I had back surgery in January 2021, 23 years later, for the disc area immediately above L5./S1, that being L5/L4. The MRI showed that I have multiple disc areas ripe for blowouts. Caleb could also have more disc problems of course. He's an athlete and NFL hits exact a physical price.

The MRI showed that I have multiple disc areas ripe for blowouts. Caleb could also have more disc problems of course. He's an athlete and NFL hits exact a physical price. IMO as a young man I would avoid any surgery disc wise, unless absolutely no other option. The disc or doughnut like material between the vertebrae can bulge or deuterate. It also heals. With correct PT and exercise and stretching to relieve pressure off bulge and get better muscular support in affected area the discs can heal relatively fast from a couple months to a year. Disc issues is one of the most common work comp claims, the good news is several back doctors have proven success without surgery. I experienced such a injury as a teen, diving into a pool. Too ignorant, to address until in my fifties, avoided surgery and took a few years to resolve and finding exact source of issue. Did get a good education in ignoring physical problems until body rebelled. The correct diagnosing is the big issue with many medical problems, athletes can become very aware of their body and it's needs and I hope Farley at his age got good advice on electing to have surgery. Each case is different as with each body, I hope Farley recoups fine, but as far as 1st or 2nd round pick, with his timing and choice or need for such a procedure, along with his chosen profession, I would not risk picking him soon in draft.
