Last month, Marcus Lattimore tweeted about getting a cheesesteak while in Philadelphia. And today, a league source confirmed that the South Carolina running back was in town for an official pre-draft visit with the Eagles. Lattimore suffered a devastating knee injury in late October, tearing his right ACL, MCL and PCL. The 5-11, 221-pounder played parts of three seasons with the Gamecocks, totaling 2,677 yards and 38 touchdowns. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported recently that teams interested in Lattimore are looking ahead to 2014, but Lattimore doesn’t necessarily agree. “After the surgery, Dr. [James] Andrews said everything was great, everything went perfect,†Lattimore told PFT. “And I’ve just been rehabbing my tail off. He wants me ready by the beginning of the season, so that’s our timetable. Beginning or middle of the season.†Source: PhillyMag.com
Knee injuries or not, he has huge potential in the NFL. Hopefully he can avoid having more knee injuries.
