    Has had the condition since 9th grade and it has had no negative effect on his play yet.

    The pain was enough to double him up at his pro day.

    This might sound bad, but maybe some higher teams pass on him so we can draft him? As far as I can tell it hasn't affected his play.

    That's what I was thinking as well. On ESPN, Mel Kiper said that this would probably effect his draft stock a little. I just don't see the Giants passing on McClain. They need a LB too much.

    My sister has Crohn's. The pain at times can be severe, but most of the time hers is under control.

    I don't recall him missing too many snaps at Bama so I wouldn't worry about it. This is good news if you want the Titans to draft him! I've seen some mock drafts mocking him to the Steelers at 18 so we may get a chance.
