Back issues are no bueno...

I'm no pro athlete but my "successful" back operation resulted in a noticeable difference in strength between my left and right leg that never healed no matter how much PT. For a normal Joe its not life changing, but if I were an athlete my career would have been over. I guess I feel like back operations are a gamble. Some of us recover well, others of us are never really the same again even though the operation itself is defined as a "success".

Was Farley physically able to play during his opt out? Just wondering ... -- Hokie PE 03/22/2021 5:41PM

It’s why he opted out IMO -- kingofcassell 03/22/2021 8:45PM

I believe you are 100% correct.... -- 2hhoop3 03/23/2021 11:40AM

It will likely cost him draft position ** -- Burke Hokie 03/22/2021 5:06PM

He was never a 1st round pick as some here swore up and down that he was -- n2beaches 03/22/2021 8:04PM

He was universally considered a 1st round pick -- VTECHFAN 03/23/2021 1:17PM

I’ll just be happy if he gets drafted at this point. This isn’t good news. ** -- Hoakie82 03/23/2021 2:09PM

LOL! He'll get drafted. He'll be gone by the end of round 2 -- VTECHFAN 03/23/2021 2:12PM

I really hope you’re right but I wouldn’t bet on it. ** -- Hoakie82 03/23/2021 2:17PM

Some people here, and every major Draft/scout service. -- HWA 03/23/2021 10:19AM

A lot of red flags with Farley. A true risk/reward 1st round pick. ** -- Apex-Hokie 03/22/2021 4:30PM
