Alabama's Julio Jones Will Require Foot Surgery

I've heard of playing through the pain before.

But training through pain?

Julio Jones' spectacular performance at the Scouting Combine, it turns out, happened while he had an injured foot. He will now need surgery on that foot, which will make him unable to practice for the next eight weeks.

Minicamps probably won't occur before then, so it shouldn't hurt his draft stock too badly.

In my opinion, it might have actually improved it because the fact that he was able to outperform A.J. Green in the Combine despite a foot injury shines a bright light on his character.
