Torn ACL,...... Sucks for him and the Jags, they still should have drafted LW, but this is something you can't control....... Contact during a MAY rookie mini-camp seems like a dumb idea........

Sad, out for the season.

Literally 1 week from when he was drafted he sustains a major-knee-injury.

Some teams are just snake bitten.

He also hadn't signed a contract yet. He's almost gotta get paid tho. Slotted in at like 4 year and $23.5 million.

Thats what I'm wondering. He's entitled to that $$$ even not playing 1 NFL game right?

Fowler may not have signed his contract with the Jaguars yet, but he’s still going to get paid regardless. According to Mike Garafolo from FOX Sports, Fowler will still be in line for his $23.5 million guaranteed contract despite tearing his ACL on Friday.

That's why Allen Iverson didn't like practicing. Shit like this happens and your career is ruined before it starts.

Also why he never won a title and was a bad teammate.
