Maurice Hurst diagnosed today with a heart condition at combine

Sad to hear for this young kid. Hopefully everything turns out okay for him.

In 2013, an echocardiogram detected a heart condition in Utah's defensive tackle Star Lotulelei. A medical recheck showed there was no dysfunction, and Lotulelei was eventually drafted in the first round to the Carolina Panthers.

There's our #8.

Why'd we want a player who's heart isn't in it?

laughed, but feel bad.


on a side note, youd think college athletes would go through extensive yearly physicals with good doctors and this shit would be found long before the combine. yet every year it seems like what is a serious long term issue is diagnosed at the combine.

maybe i dont know what im talking about and a heart condition can just creep up within a year.

I would lean towards it being a fluke on the EKG and bet ECG shows nothing.

I'd like him as a second but it's a big risk.
