"His medical grade is a little iffy." Lombardi admitted he doesn't know exactly what the medical issue is. On tape, Michel is arguably the second-best running back in this class behind only Saquon Barkley.


This to me screams someone really would like Sony Michel to fall safely into the second round to get chosen.

A medical issue, but hey I have no clue what it is...really?

No kidding. This is a team ploy that is broadcast by some gullible reporter about some player just before every draft. Could Lombardi's prior association with the NE Patriots have set him up to fall for this old trick?

It's not like I'm suggesting that any given team that sits at the end of the first round and needs a RB would do such a thing.
