An ACL tear was part of Case Keenum's own 'Silver Linings Playbook'

When NFL teams wanted to learn more about Case Keenum ahead of the 2012 draft, scouts and general managers had several resources.

If they wanted to know about his medical history, they could talk to an athletic trainer. If they wanted to learn about his work ethic, they could reach out to the strength coach.

And when teams wanted to get a feel for Keenum's character and who the person was inside that helmet, they turned to Mikado Hinson.
