My doctors told me that getting it fixed would give me less arthritis, but either way, I'd end up with arthritis in the knee.
Assuming he had a similar conversation, the questions are: When? And as an elite athlete, can he manage that with ice and analgesics until his career is over?
My guess is the answer was probably something like: "You'll need knee replacement in your 50s but you should be ok for at least 10 years if you follow a maintenance regimen for the knee, including specific exercises (not really a problem for an NFL player), ice and NSAIDs."
And if he needs cortisone and/or hyaluronic acid injections along the way, he'll have ready access to those.
His knee, even if he's at risk for a degenerative condition, should not be an issue for the first portion of his career. If anything, it'll be something to be concerned about for his second contract, but let's hope he plays well enough that we have to worry about that when the time comes.
Agree. I've had ACL reconstruction for a bad football injury, and at least 8 hyaluronic injections (Gel One) in that knee. The state of art of treatment/surgeries for the joint pretty consensual and continues to advance. I'm curious why so many teams shied away and let him drop so far.
Ojulari is pretty damn productive if you're talking about stats. Not sure what you mean.
Did you not bring up his height and weight?
Yeah, and I'm not getting the "we looks small" part of it. His height/weight tosses that in the dumpster.. You can say he "looks small" but he isn't. And his effectiveness and the video backs it up. Even his scouting reports praise his physical makeup.

So you look at height and weight and say that's it. I've got the answer. Or are you just hoping to win the battle of the words.

No, I'm genuinely confused how size is up for debate when we have his official measurements. It's like arguing water is wet.

The eye test does lie.
He's 6'2, 249, with 34 1/2 inch arms and 10 1/2 in hands.
Let's think about that for a second.
Does blake martinez look small? Because he's listed at 6'2, 237.
Chris Snee, a dominant offensive linemen, had 31 inch arms and 9 1/4 in hands.
Blake Martinez? You think this guy looks like Black Martinez?
My point is if you think Ojulari "looks small" when he's bigger and longer than a guy who's quite successful and effective.
That's easy to say with numbers,on the field,it doesn't always tell the story.

Baldy on Ojulari - ( New Window )
Well that's what you get,a state of confusion
You can watch guys who people claim to be 6 foot,and you wonder if it's just for show.Knowing how the NFL can be all about size.
The quarterback for the Cardinals is a good example.
