A herniated disc is extremely rare in people under 25, for an 18 year old athlete even more rare but the most concerning part is even older people who have this usually recover in 4 or 5 weeks.
Lindstrom has had this bad back for over 6 months, he came back for a few games in the playoffs but it's obviously still a problem since he missed the combine.
This looks to be more than just a herniated disc, yes, even a disc degeneration problem can be fixed with surgery but at what cost to development of a young player?
Stay away with the 9th pick, far away.
