BuffaloRebound Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Smart to get in front of this now instead of next Thursday. Because you know somebody would’ve leaked this last minute to hurt his stock. 3
Captain Hindsight Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Perhaps someone with more medical background can explain epilepsy better, but it seems to havent had much affect on him as an elite athlete. Sounds like doctors arent too concerned

Virgil Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Keep him off the field for the Super Bowl halftime show and he’ll be fine 14 3
bigK14094 Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 Adds a risk factor into selecting him. Will cause him to drop imho. 4

I could see them taking a guy like Trask in Round 2 though. 1

Mr. WEO Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 In New York State, he wouldn't even be allowed to drive a car until 12 months after his last seizure event.

Sounds like doctors arent too concerned My wife and Dad have the condition. Wife hasn't had one for 25+ years so I have never seen it as hers is controlled via medication very well. My Dad had numerous episodes when I was growing up due to his refusal to take it. Basically somehow the electrical signals to certain areas of the brain get shorted and it goes haywire...can cause seizures, strange behavior, and exhaustion post seizure, but that was usually only with grand mal ones when they were very bad and I used to go run and hide in my room if he had one of them. Medication can control it to varying degrees...sometimes the person will never have another one again and sometimes they continue to have them but to a lesser extent.

Southern_Bills Posted April 21, 2021 Posted April 21, 2021 He won't be hurt by it, we are just learning it but I'm sure all teams have known. Smart of him to acknowledge it to make the media fluff up about it a non story. This just in Mac Jones has average hand size compared to NFL QBs! Will it be enough!? Anything is a story right now.

Sounds like doctors arent too concerned As someone who was incorrectly diagnosed with it as a child there are several types of epilepsy with the worst being Tonic-clonic seizures (also called grand mal seizures, can make a person cry out, lose consciousness, fall to the ground and have muscle jerks and/or spasms) which is type you see typically in movies with violent shaking, possible biting/swallowing of tongue, etc. In previous times such people were told not to play sports. These days you can play sports with precautions. There is medication to control it and typically seizures repeat without medication. Absence seizures (sometimes called petit mal seizures can cause rapid blinking or a few seconds of staring into space); this type could become a big impact to a professional player. 1
