Michigan linebacker David Ojabo suffered a brutal Achilles tear during the school’s Pro Day over the weekend.
A video went viral soon after the injury showing pro scouts and coaches walking away from Ojabo and moving on to the next set of drills.
Of course, the video rubbed everyone, including Vince Marrow, the wrong way:

I agree 100 percent look at the scout or coach just pick up the ball and move on. Straight bs and if he shows up at our pro day I will let him know. Praying for that young man. https://t.co/V641Bcsfx2

While it seems the scouts were heartless, a former NFL doctor explained it like this:
I get this is a bad look but @NFL is so specialized, it is the job of the ATC to run to check on him. That is what happens to star players on game day too. BTW, this video confirms our initial day report of Achilles tear. https://t.co/mLtFH1oOUf https://t.co/UagM8Ec5RU

I get what the doctor is saying but it’s definitely a bad look.
