Uhm...dont think mentally it will affect him. You got to remember that these are 19-20 year old kids


first of all, it's extremely common for athletes to not be exactly the same after a major knee injury. It absolutely could affect him, we don't know. Second, the fact that it's a 19-20 year old kid makes it MORE likely to affect him. He is young and is only halfway through his college career. He no doubt has dreams of playing in the NFL one day. You don't think it's remotely possible that he might play it safe a play or two per game with that hanging in the back of his mind?

I do. It's human nature and probably accounts for Clowney's mediocre performance last season even without an injury. It's a fine balance between on field performance that enhances your draft stock and not taking risks that might lead to a career ending injury. I don't envy Marshall's situation in that regard. Here's wishing only the best for him.
