Hamstrings can be funny with guys like this.

Patrick Peterson had some issues at LSU. Didn't miss total games, but as an example, against North Carolina he had to come out of the game, while they were driving for the potential winning TD.

He got them under control, and it's a non-factor. Didn't cause Arizona to hesitate picking him.

The way I look at it is this: the guy was still the consensus #1 corner. If the hammies were any concern, then if anything it speaks to his talent and potential being so high, that he still was the top choice at the position.

Seems like nobody outside of this board has the slightest hesitance calling it a great pick.

Interestingly, the Anzalone pick, outside this board, also seems to get a lot of praise. Our base wanted a DE instead, and there's some whining from the anti-Gator section, but outsiders seem to love that pick too.

Pretty sure his problem was cramping and dehydration issues. Not the same thing but still manageable. We haven't had a corner I can remember finish a year without missing time for injuries. We should expect the same.

I mentioned this in another thread but it's interesting how different fan bases see things. My brother in law is a bears fan and he texted me to congratulate us on getting Lattimore. I said I liked the pick but kind of wanted Jonathan Allen. He said "the guy with arthritis in his shoulders? Why?!"
