The course of the 2010 NFL Draft's first round could hinge on the health of Sam Bradford's shoulder. If he proves that he's 100 percent and injury-free, St. Louis will have a hard time passing on him, even with Ndamukong Suh and Gerald McCoy on the board.So Bradford's recent comment to NFL.com's Gil Brandt should perk up some ears.
When Brandt asked Bradford how his physicals with individual NFL teams had been going, Bradford reported that he had "passed with flying colors."
Bradford twice injured his right shoulder during the 2009 college football season, then had surgery on it in late October.
There's been a growing consensus, though, that Bradford is a safer pick than ex-Notre Dame QB Jimmy Clausen -- who had toe surgery in January -- at the top of the draft. Bradford won't participate in Oklahoma's pro day on March 9, but he is expected to hold a personal workout for NFL scouts on March 25.
If he shows then that he's fully recovered, he'll almost certainly solidify an early draft spot.
In FanHouse's most recent Mock Draft, Bradford settled in at No. 6 overall to Seattle. That meant that Bradford slipped past St. Louis at No. 1 and Washington at No. 4, sending Suh to the Rams and Gerald McCoy to Detroit at No. 2. Clausen, meanwhile, slid all the way to No. 9 and the Bills.
Bradford's decision to return to Oklahoma for his junior year was a controversial one -- he led the Sooners to the 2009 BCS National Championship and captured the Heisman Trophy the prior season. The chatter about his decision only became louder with the shoulder issue. Bradford's performance on March 25 could be the determining factor in whether he made a mistake by staying in college, at least in terms of his draft position..
