Techbert Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Caleb Farley will not attend the draft after testing positive for COVID. Caleb Farley sat out the 2020 season to avoid COVID. So much to unpack there, both at the individual and national level. So much nuance. I will pass on it, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeT14 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Many people did a lot of things to avoid COVID, and were not able to do it anyway. Not sure I'd hold it against him. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Holding this particular incident against him is foolish but I have about as bad a feeling about his NFL career health wise as I could have for a prospect. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Considering many expect him to fall due to nerve issues that were just revealed, I'm not shocked he won't be at the draft. I'm also not shocked that Covid is the reason given for his absence since thats the reason for every player to sit out of things this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncosFan2010 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Given his health issues, he is going to fall. Potentially very far. So citing COVID is a great way to save face. I wonder if he used the same line of thinking when choosing to sit out 2020. Honestly dont think its a stretch that he knew his body was ticking so he stayed off the field and used COVID as the reason. And, honestly, I wouldnt hold any of the above against him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballsy idea then, because he was the first D1 player to opt out iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your saying he went out and got COVID to not attend the draft... because he might fall down draft boards. So instead of just not going to the draft... he got COIVD to have an excuse not to.... There was a lot of takes on this, and you just had to go and have this one. Edited April 28, 2021 by AZ_Eaglesfan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadpulse Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Some of you are actually faulting this man for catches the most communicable disease on the planet in the middle of a global pandemic? Like, what is the rationale there? Dude wouldn't be allowed in even if he wanted to go... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Yeah, don’t really get the big deal here. Not sure how/why it’d effect his draft stock, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
