It looks like the refs blew the whistle any ways, but gutsie player.

We need a Center, but I wonder how bad the injury was?

Ideally, you would hope that Poles gets a FA that can start on day 1, and follows it up by drafting a center that is chomping at the bit to win the starting job in his own right.

I think the smart play is to not risk further injury and let the trainers come get you, but I am impressed that instead of letting pain take over, he was able to get himself off the field. You want a center with that kind of grit.

Draft very late and stash him.
Alex Bars was going to be a late 2nd or early 3rd pick but his similar gruesome injury caused him to fall considerably. Just was never the same guy after that.

Not sure, but he IS from West Virginia…. So a mountain boy center/QB combination might appeal to some Bears fans.
I'd say he has the warrior spirit but knowing what we all know now, wouldn't want to insinuate that he has set with underage boys.

I heard this guy was a consensus top 4 center in this draft. Can probably get him in the 6th or 7th round now.

Instead of laying on the field in excruciating pain like most would,
@zfrazier54
found a way to get to sideline so his team would avoid critical 10-second runoff.
