Injury Concern Probable Cause for Lacy’s Fall in Draft

During the 2012 season, the Alabama Crimson Tide made history winning their 3rd BCS national championship.  When the season came to a close Alabama only continued their record setting ways, placing 9 players in this past weekend's NFL Draft-a new modern day record.

The action got started at No. 9 when the New York Jets selected cornerback Dee Milliner. It did not take long for the next Crimson Tide player to hear his named called as the Tennessee Titans took Chance Warmack with the 10th choice.San Diego followed suit as NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the choice of D.J. Fluker at No. 11.

One of the players many expected to be a part of the first round party was running back Edide Lacy, who instead slipped to the 61st pick overall to the Green Bay Packers. The move came as a surprise to many as Lacy's stock seemed to be on the rise after rushing for over 1300 yards and 17 touchdowns in 2012. However as teams evaluated the former Tide star, concerns were raised.

Another player who saw his stock slip was offensive lineman Barrett Jones, who some projected as a 2nd round pick, but was instead selected by the St. Louis Rams in the fourth round.
