I'd feel better about this if he went to a renowned surgeon.

The chiropractor specializes in back and neck pain and also does accupuncture. Yeah, I can see this is definately the guy to go to for a hammy injury.

I dealt with this injury last half of my athletic career. There is not any treatment but rest that will let it go away if it's indeed as serious as mine were. White just got eliminated from my pick sheets! I know from experiance!

Is any team stupid enough to buy this crap? Doc here 10k this is the statement you will make.
Im suprised there was not a torn pectoral statement that would clear his pathetic 15 reps.

LenDale White has hamstring tear
Mike Klis
4/13/2006
When the official diagnosis was delivered showing a greater degree of severity than initially surmised, running back LenDale White felt not pain, but relief.
Results of an MRI on White's powerful, but troublesome right hamstring came back Thursday showing a moderate tear near the pelvic region, according to Dr. Randall Eldridge, a Denver chiropractor renowned for his treatment of musculoskeletal injuries.
The hamstring tear will sideline the former Chatfield High School and University of Southern California star until mid-May, which means White will not have a personal workout prior to the April 29 NFL draft and may not be ready for the mini-camp of the NFL team that selects him.
"He should recover fine," Dr. Eldridge said. "He just needs time to heal. But I could see where he would have been in considerable pain had he tried to run."
This is a rare case when an injury brought not bitterness but sweet vindication to an athlete. Unable to work out at the NFL scouting combine in late-February in Indianapolis or at the USC pro day on April 2, White was criticized as a malingerer.
His feelings hurt and ego bruised, the MRI finding helped White salvage some respect.
"This validates that the reason I didn't run wasn't because I didn't want to, wasn't because I was lazy, but because I was injured," White said. "I did everything I possibly could to get ready for our pro day, but I knew something wasn't right with my leg. Now I've got a doctor with 100 percent expertise on hamstrings saying I have a tear. To me, it proves the attacks against me were unjust."
Considered among the best of the "big backs" available in the NFL draft, White initially was projected to go midway through the first round. Expectations rose to around the 10th overall pick amid reports he had lost weight from the 252 pounds he carried for 124 yards and three touchdowns in the national championship game against Texas, to around 235 pounds in anticipation of running the 40-yard dash in less than 4.5 seconds for NFL scouts.
But then White said he initially felt his hamstring go while working out on a Cybex machine, which measures knee strength, during the scouting combine. White, 21, decided against running in Indianapolis believing he would be at full speed by the time USC held its pro workout.
The hamstring pain persisted, though, and when he didn't run the 40 in Los Angeles, White received stinging criticism from NFL coaches and draft pundits for not getting himself physically ready for his tryout.
His draft projections have since fell to late in the first round to midway through the second.
"Everybody in California was telling him he needed to run," said Herman White, LenDale's uncle and professional advisor. "Had he listened to everybody out there and ran with this tear, his hamstring would have ripped apart, and there's no telling how long he would have been out."
White hopes the tear found in his hamstring will ease NFL executive concerns about his work ethic. The extent of the potential damage to his draft value, however, won't be known until April 29.
"I think this (medical) report brings it back to where it was before the USC pro day," White said. ""It comes down to whether a team wants a big back or a smaller back. This class of running backs basically has me as the only big back and everybody else is 217 or less."

if carolina thinks that's he's a player...why wouldn't they select him at #27? missing a few minicamps isn't the end of the world - he's a running back, not a quarterback

I hope he falls to the Texans at 33.

If nothing else, this simplifies taking Deangelo at 1.02 in dynasty drafts - a thought which will turn on a dime come the NFL draft.

Exactly. I am laughing @ the "renowned" chiropracter. Has anybody ever heard of this guy before? I mean he does work out of a shopping center complex on East Hampden Avenue in Denver.In Colorado, and in fact around the world if you are an elite athlete, you go not to some chiropracter who advertises his expertise in car accident injury treatments of the neck and back, but rather to the world renowned Steadman- Hawkins Clinic in Vail where they have treated a who's who of world class superstar athletes and specialize in sports medicine, not ambulance chasing.

I dunno, Frenchy. He could be a perfect fit but he could also be a huge bust. I am thinking the Steelers go the safe route,

Hammy injuries have plagued many an athlete in the NFL. They have a tendency to be recurring. Hmmmm...to draft or not to draft in the first round?
He's got 3 strikes against him already.
1) Weak bench press
2) poor work ethic
3) torn hamstring
Sounds like first round gold to me.

If Reggie Bush falls to the middle/bottom of the second, you may be on to something here....
Yay someone in the know. A players graded is 85%-90% film. Sorry, but 31 teams aren't going to ignore the film on White.How fast was McGahee's 40 before the draft?See also: Heath Miller's hernia, pre-2005 draft.
scouts value what players did in college games more than combines and workouts.
