As you have heard by now, NFL prospect David Ojabo suffered a serious injury on Friday as he tore his Achilles tendon while doing a drill at Michigan‘s pro day.
Now, a video has emerged showing how NFL scouts reacted (or did not react) when Ojabo suffered the injury.
Watch as the scouts completely ignore Ojabo rather than checking on him.
What a joke.
I know the #NFL is a cold business but watching the lack of concern or empathy from the scouts, coaches and observers following David Ojabo’s injury bugs me. Perhaps someone should’ve checked on him instead of grabbing the ball and moving to the next drill. Just a thought.. pic.twitter.com/28aR88zJfk

FROM FRIDAY:
This is not the report we wanted to pass along today.

Yep. … He was doing a pass drop drill, went down the line, started running up field and went to the ground. Took the air out of pro day https://t.co/T22eUKuw0Q
