On Monday, Ohio State wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba announced he would enter the NFL draft after his doctors determined he would not be able to play in the College Football Playoff due to a lingering hamstring injury. However, ESPN analyst Todd McShay says he has heard that there is question on whether Smith-Njigba is actually not healthy enough to continue his season among NFL scouts.
“There are a lot of reports from NFL scouts that I’ve talked to [who] said he’s healthy enough to play and he’s protecting himself for the draft,” McShay said.
