Both of them left college at the exact moment when their draft status could not possibly have been lower unless you assume they were going to be physically unable to actually play. I have never in my life commented positively or negatively about a vegan diet towards the Porters or anyone else, nor attempted to make medical assessments about someone’s back injury and long term health status remotely over the internet.
