INDIANAPOLIS -- Evaluating draft prospects is an inexact science. That is only magnified when the players can’t work out at the NFL combine or pro days.
Injuries will prevent Mississippi State defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons and Oklahoma wide receiver Marquise Brown from providing any measurables, which makes the evaluation process even tougher.
Brown recently underwent surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury; Simmons suffered a torn ACL during training. Tennessee Titans general manager Jon Robinson is tasked with figuring out if selecting a top prospect coming off an injury is worth the risk of potentially lost playing time.
