Sergio Kindle falls due to medical concerns

University of Texas outside linebacker Sergio Kindle plummeted out of the first round reportedly due to concerns about his long-term health.

According to Rivals.com, Kindle might need microfracture surgery on his knee.

“There are a handful of teams who have graded Kindle as a ’serious’ medical risk because of his knee, which one team said looks like it could require Kindle to have microfracture surgery,” per the report. "According to some teams, Kindle’s medical exams showed a series of trauma on the knee that could limit his career. If he slides past the Patriots at No. 22, he could slide out of the first round, and there might be more than hot air behind the murmurs about Kindle’s knee.”

Plus, Kindle takes prescription medication for narcolepsy and attention deficit disorder.

The knee is a source of real concern, the others aren't.

Kindle remains a dynamic pass rusher. If a team is comfortable with his knee, then they'll draft him today in the second round.
