Tight end Mitch Wilcox suffers eye injury during Scouting Combine workout

85yI26SMG7Gi
Mike Florio and Big Cat look at some of the notable workouts so far from the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine, including Henry Ruggs, CeeDee Lamb and Chase Claypool.

Every now and then when large people start running around doing drills, someone will pull a hamstring or something.

We now have our most-painful-sounding injury of the Scouting Combine so far.

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, South Florida tight end Mitch Wilcox popped a blood vessel in his left eye when he was hit in the face with a pass during drills last night.

He continued to go through the workout despite the pain (and what must have been more than a little difficulty, you know, seeing things).

He has a pro day scheduled for March 30 when he can get a chance to do better, though it’s hard to hold an eye injury against him, especially after he continued to work out.
