Medical reasons why Saints may have passed on RB Tyjae Spears

This noise magically surfaced during draft week. Hard to say to what degree it’s true and/or how if affects him. Watching him play this last season it didn’t seem to have an impact.
The fact is undeniable that teams had medical red flags on him. The fact we haven't heard about it as much as fans until now doesn't means teams haven't known for months. They are incredibly diligent on this stuff.

I hope the guy beats all the odds and has a long and productive career, but it's absolutely the case that teams think long and hard about the medical risk when potentially adding a player.

None of this diminishes what he's achieved to date, but past returns don't necessarily guarantee future production.

TLDR; What Nolan said.
