While former Georgia running back Sony Michel is one of the top running backs in the 2018 NFL Draft, some NFL personnel are concerned about his health, according to reports by "The Ringer".
Although Michel played in 47 games in four seasons at Georgia and missed only two over the past three seasons, former NFL executive and “The Ringer” host Mike Lombardi said Michel’s health is concerning.
“There’s a lot of teams telling me there’s a medical concern here, so he could slip a little bit,” Lombardi said, according to Sporting News. “His medical grade is a little iffy.”
In his senior season with the Bulldogs, Michel hurt his knee in the SEC Championship Game against Auburn, but he scored the winning touchdown over Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl and went on to total 98 yards on 14 carries in the College Football Playoff championship game against Alabama in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Over his collegiate career, Michel averaged 6.1 yards a carry and 9.7 yards per reception.
