His famous cartwheel has deflected attention from his significant medical history that is likely to cause him to slip some in the NFL draft. Landon Dickerson has torn his right ACL twice in his college career. He first tore his ACL in 2016 while at Florida St. and then again in 2020 after transferring to Alabama. A second surgery is always harder and statistically a harbinger of more knee scopes to come. Dickerson injury history goes deeper than the ACL tears as both his 2017 and 2018 season was cut short due to severe ankle injuries. The fact that he has only finished healthy in one of five collegiate football seasons is likely going to cost him in the eyes of NFL evaluators. Someone with his talent will get drafted but we would expect that to be significantly lower than if he had no medical issues.
