The reason Owusu is so magnified a case is because his concussions are connected in the consciousness of football observers to four brutal hits (@ Oregon 2010, @ WSU 2011, @ U.S.C. 2011, and @OSU 2011) all clearly evident on video. If he were an interior lineman, and there was no real way to see any visibly disturbing hits, nobody would have him off their draft board.
In fact, I'm willing to bet there are other players who will be drafted higher than Owusu who have as much concussion history as Owusu, only theirs doesn't come with graphic video of them getting drilled in the open field and carried off on a stretcher.
