If Dr Andrews preformed the surgery

"I'm trying to put out fires that aren't even justified and to clear the record, I guess, is the best way to put it," Andrews told CBSSports.com. "It came out he had a failed ACL surgery -- that's not even close to the truth. His performance at the combine had nothing to do with his knee situation, and that was blown way out of proportion and that's not fair to the kid."
Kouandjio underwent surgery on his ACL and MCL midway through his freshman season in 2011. He returned for the following spring and started 27 consecutive games throughout the rest of his three-year Alabama career.
Andrews, who did not perform Kouandjio's surgery, said the "wear patterns" on his knee have not changed since he arrived at Alabama.
quote:
Andrews is sending updated medical reports to all 32 teams to dismiss the notion that Kouandjio wasn't healthy enough to have a long-term future in the NFL.

This happens a lot. Some teams or scouts put out false information so the player will drop and give certain teams a better chance at getting a player without having to spend a lot of money.

According to the linked article, he didn't perform the surgery.
