Hurt Guys Get Hurt


Jordan Raanan tweeted this now-famous quote from Dave Gettleman last April as a way of suggesting that teams stay away from players who are prone to get injured:

Let's look at the injury history of one such player (information from draftsharks.com):

Sept. 2015: Thigh hamstring strain grade 2, missed 7 games

Sept. 2016: Same hamstring, missed 3 games

Sept. 2017: Leg fibula fracture, season-ending

Oct. 2019: Inguinal groin strain grade 2, missed one game

June 2020: Pedal foot (Jones) fracture, missed first 3 games

Oct. 2020: Thigh hamstring strain grade 2, missed 3 games

Dec. 2020: Thigh hamstring strain grade 2, missed final 3 games of season

Aug. 2021: Thigh glute strain, removed from joint practice

Nov. 2021: Leg calf strain, questionable but suited up

Nov. 2021: Inguinal groin strain grade 2, but didn't miss game

Boy, you wouldn't want to touch a player like this with a 10-foot pole, just as Gettleman suggests. Who is this player? Sterling Shepard? Kenny Golladay? John Ross? Kadarius Toney?

None of these. The player is Deebo Samuel. Would he be worth having on your team?
