Andrew Vorhees, USC's top offensive lineman last season, tore his ACL at the combine. The next day, he topped all in the bench press. He had been considered an early-round pick.
The doctor delivered the news early that morning, just before his second day of testing was set to start at the NFL scouting combine.was standing in the Colts locker room in Indianapolis, literally on the doorstep of his NFL dream, when he got word. The anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee was torn. Everything about the start of his NFL career had been suddenly called into question.
“Definitely devastating,” Vorhees said, “but life is all about how you respond to the events that are happening.” When the time came, Vorhees hobbled over on crutches, his leg in an air cast. He couldn’t even plant the leg as he laid back on the bench, gripping the bar with both hands. A long recovery still awaits. Vorhees is scheduled to have surgery on his knee next week. After that, Vorhees said, he “should be cleared sometime in the fall.”
Amid all the positive vibes from his viral bench press, Vorhees has tried not to think too much about where exactly he’s picked in the draft next month. He’s focused instead on his response. Neilon said Tuesday he was three months into an eight- to 10-month recovery process, but assured he would be healthy around the start of training camp.Alabama’s Bryce Young, Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud, Florida’s Anthony Richardson, Kentucky’s Will Levis are top QB prospects in NFL draft, but where they go is a mystery.

History As It Happens: The Iraq War w/ Andrew BacevichThis is the first in a multi-part series of episodes marking the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, which began on March 20, 2003.
