This is a guy that I probably wouldn't want to use a draft pick on, not because he is deaf, but because of the injury and he isn't spectacular. Together, he sounds like a good kid.
There's a lot more in the article, take a peek. I am hoping the deaf part scares off other teams and we give him a shot and he shows how good he is.
