Can that be an issue? Is there history of players who suffered similar injury as this and affected their play in a bad way?
Only reason I ask is that I remember Victor Cruz, Jerod Mayo, and that Jackson guy from the Chargers had similar injury. Also (and I can be mistaken here), their return-to-play performance definitely decreased?
Maybe it's just me, but this feels a lot of high risk and low reward.

The patellar tendon tear is the single-worst injury an athlete can suffer. NFL guys, NBA guys, no one has ever been the same. Like, ever. You can MAYBE argue that Jimmy Graham came ALL the way back (he had one more productive season after returning), but he wasn't as explosive at leaping and cutting and had lost some speed.
It's super high risk. The highest risk possible, really. The reward is high - if he is the unicorn who cruises on like the injury never happened.

"This one is ****ed" - FYP.
I think that's one of the more depressing mocks for the Chiefs that I have seen.
Simmons - huge risk
Norman-Lott - so many other guys with similar floors and more upside. His size is a limiting factor.
Stanford WR - not a fit in KC's offense
Jaydon Blue - too early, likely taking him over more proven guys who are better fits for KC
Day 3 picks - whatever. Though I think the track record for Day 3 DEs is probably one of the lowest for success, especially for guys who were not at small schools.
