From what I have read, Clowney's surgery was a bit more involved because they removed most of his medial meniscus due to the prior surgery failing to repair it properly. Your meniscus is like the shock absorber between the femur and the tibula, so you can try to imagine not having one and living a normal life..... playing a high contact sport is going to be a REAL challenge, if at all even possible.

There is another forum that has a MD (an orthopod I believe) as a member and it was covered pretty extensively.

I would be shocked if we didn't draft an OLB,( or two) in the first three rounds.
