Ok, for the people who don't know about him, he was a South Carolina RB and was expected to be one of the best RB to ever play for South Carolina, well in 2011 his season was cut short when he tore his ACL on his left knee in October, which meant he was done for the season, he had a tough road to recovery and went into the 2012 season in the Heisman race(Heisman is like the MVP of all players in college for the season), and had an excellent start. But in October in a game against Tennessee he got hit really bad and when watching the replay, you could tell he did something bad when from his right knee was pretty much bending backwards(you can youtube the injury), and he tore just about everything in his knee(not all but almost), and his season was cut short again to injury, well when the draft rolled around Marcus Lattimore threw his name into the draft, and in the 4th round the Sam Franciso 49ers drafted him. Now be aware this is a big risk since he has a bad history with injuries but they did it anyways, plus they are stacked at RB so Lattimore can sit out his first year or so while he continues to fully recover. If that isn't a great story I don't know what is, so what do you guys think? Would you have drafted someone knowing the risk or just pick a healthy player who I guarantee doesn't work as hard as Lattimore had to get where he is, and haven't heard of him I recommend looking up some of his highlights before answering because he is amazing to watch.
