But the data is awful on this. Literally every NFL dude you can find who had this injury either (a) had it end their career or (b) made it back on the field but was never the same/as good as before.

Not being a wise ass here and sorry if it has already been discussed, but what previous players had this injury? If it seriously damaged/ended their career how old were they at the time of injury? Genuinely curious.
Without the injury history this dude is likely a top 5 pick. If the Chiefs medical experts think he checks out I think it is well worth the risk. As long as Mahomes is under center and Reid is the coach, we are gonna be picking late in the first every single year. Golden opportunity to steal a franchise left tackle. If...IF...they think he is ready to roll.
