For the Giants, yes. For Sean, noGreat pick

I would think Tucker would have to be cleared to play by the doctor of whatever NFL team he ends up on and there was not enough time for that to happen before the draft. So teams are not going to use a draft pick on someone who potentially may not be cleared. A free agent signing is a much smaller risk for a team to take if it is not certain if he will be cleared to play.If it is a heart issue, I wouldnt be surprised if the vast majority of the teams took him off the board.
Right or wrong, with the Hamlin situation (totally different, I know) and just in general, people are very risk averse in this area of medical.
He will definitely get UDFA offersIf he doesn’t get signed as UDFA I wonder if he’d go to a spring league?
looks that way, another RB goes at 193 that is not STSo, I am doing all this sitting around waiting for Tucker to get picked and its just not gonna happen?
There will probably be three or four more backs drafted, tops.So, I am doing all this sitting around waiting for Tucker to get picked and its just not gonna happen?
I feel the same way. He was so good for Syracuse, so productive until Anae came along. Its hard to watch him get passed over by all these teams.Well this has been such a disappointment, have been waiting all off season for this. More so though I feel bad for Tucker as I’m sure this is hard on him.

As a newer fan this is the first time I’ve ever experienced having my eyes glued to the draft for one player. I plan on casually watching him from a far wherever he goes still. I’m happy for Bergeron and Williams of course but Tucker is my favorite.I feel the same way. He was so good for Syracuse, so productive until Anae came along. Its hard to watch him get passed over by all these teams.
I do acknowledge his weaknesses in pass blocking, which is huge, but man, what an amazing talent for some team he could be...
Reyes - man, that dude was smoothYou would have enjoyed the Marvin Harrison, Dwight Freeney, & McNabb years. They were fun to follow in the NFL.
We have had some guys before, a bit like Tucker, like Walter Reyes. I don't recall if he really got much of a shot in the NFL. Hopefully Tucker does.
Hopefully, they all have good careers!

I don't know how he wasnt drafted
Should have went #1 overall in my book...Reyes - man, that dude was smooth

if it's a heart condition, in today's climate especially with the Hamlin incident, I doubt any team would even sign him as an UDFA. There is too much risk. The young man's life would be in jeopardy. I agree, put the SYR degree to work and live a long, healthy, fulfilling and productive life.He should return to school and get his degree and then go on to live a long and happy life. Sucks that his NFL career is going to end before it starts but there’s more to life than football.
Its too bad for him he wasn't a year older and couldn't leave after 2021. I think guys have petitioned before has to be a decent chance of getting a waiver if hes motivated enough.Is it too late for him to come back? He could probably do really well NIL wise?
