Mo Hurst diagnosed with a heart condition at the NFL combine
Let's hope this is nothing serious.
Dirtbag NFL teams?
Fuck
This would be heartbreaking if it's serious. I hope for all the best.
Unfortunately, I don't think college athletes undergo the types of physicals that would catch such things. A basketball player from Baylor was diagnosed with a problem a few years ago by the NBA and he was going to be a lottery pick.

It is not standard practice for NCAA teams to perform EKGs on athletes. The NFL performs EKGs on every athlete at the combine. My father is a Cardiologist who previously read the EKGs for the athletes at the combine. He occasionally would discover something that would not be detected per standard team physical examinations. When an abnormality is detected, they undergo further testing (i.e. Cardiac ultrasound, or others depending upon findings) to detect any potential structural abnormality. This is usually not favorable, but sometimes it may be something incidental and not affecting ability to play safely. Let's all hope for the best. Mo deserves NFL success and a large salary. We know him, though. He is a hard-worker, and he will succeed regardless of this outcome.
But it was undiagnosed; not due to negligence but due to not performing extensive testing on every athlete.
Is it likely that he developed the condition in the last two months?
that's awful to hear. I hope the best for him. He deserves everything he has coming his way, aside from the health issues of course. Hopefully it is just a small murmur that doesn't hold him back at all. Nothing more unfair than being a few weeks away from fulfilling your dream and finding out something like this.
Oh, wow. There's something no one expected to hear.
Hopefully, it isn't serious and doesn't derail any chance he has to play on Sundays,
Hopefully it is something that can be fixed. But if not its good that they found out before he died on the field .
Having a Michigan education , I am confident, if he should not be able to play in the NFL . He will; be just fine in life .
that's terrible. I hate that Mo has to deal with this at what should be the most exciting and happy time in his life. I suppose that it's better to find the issue then have it be there and not know about it, I hope it's nothing serious. Mo Hurst has worked hard and stayed out of trouble, I feel like he deserves every bit of the success that is going to come to him.
Hard to think positively, but better to know than not to know, and it's his hard work & dedication that put him in the position of finding out now, when whatever it is can be taken care of. We're all pulling for you, Mo!
This sucks for potentially derailing his NFL career.
But there is the very real possibility that, without football, Mo would have never found out about this. And he might have dropped dead at a young age as a result.
Whever his football future is, football has already potentially saved his life.
Keep your head up, Mo! You're one of our favorites ever.
Good looking out new sparty guy.
