At profootballdoc.com we don't like using the injury prone label, especially when it comes to traumatic injuries, but that will be Trey Sermon's challenge heading into the NFL Draft. Sermon has dealt with a long list of injuries in his collegiate career but has played well as a complimentary back at both Oklahoma and Ohio St. The list includes a vertebral fracture, MCL tear, ACL/LCL tear and a SC joint dislocation. The SC joint dislocation was suffered on his first carry in the National Championship game. The Ohio St. running back headed to the hospital soon after to have the joint relocated. This high-profile injury should be of minimal concern and is similar to what Tyreek Hill suffered early in the 2019 season. Sermon as been very consistent, averaging over 700 rushing yards in four years while totaling a career high 13 rushing touchdowns in his sophomore season.The biggest concern to his draft stock is the long-term issues associated with his ACL/LCL surgery and injury. Sermon has returned to play well but the longevity consequences of any cartilage damage at the time of his multi-ligament knee injury is the main concern.
