Most thought he would be picked in the 2nd rd, be interesting to see if this has any impact on his draft status.

UGA's Aaron Murray tears ACL; college career over

ATHENS, GA —


University of Georgia record-setting senior quarterback Aaron Murray will undergo surgery at St. Mary's Hospital in
Athens this week to repair a torn ACL suffered in Saturday's 59-17 victory over Kentucky.

The injury to his left knee occurred in the second quarter. He was taken to St. Mary's hospital where an MRI was performed, according to UGA officials. He was
re-evaluated by team physicians Sunday morning. Murray experienced minimal swelling and it was determined to proceed with the surgery this week, officials said.

Post-surgery rehabilitation will begin immediately and a full recovery is expected. Channel 2's Anthoney Amey will have updates on Channel 2 Action News at Noon

That sucks. Georgia has been riddled with key injuries.

Not sure what I think about Murray as a pro yet, although there are some similarities to his college career and his physical skill set with Drew Brees.

I would take him in the 2nd round, without question.

No thanks. No more 6 foot nothing quarterbacks.

 

[Midswat]

Don't worry. We seem to have a "No more quarterbacks" drafting philosophy anyways.

Another guy that would have gone fairly high had he come out early, only to see injuries kill his stock. I'm with Middy, i'd take him, but not until the 3rd.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

He has nowhere near the arm as Brees.

He could be a Mike McGroin surprise starter though.
