I’m just saying about a year or two ago this board was much more concerned about medical privacy rights
You could argue that the contract doesn't go into effect if they don't pass the physical, but even with that protection the team still has a wasted draft pick.
An NFL team has a legit reason to see a potential pick's medical history, and to deny that just seems to indicate he's going to be a prima donna right from the start.
