While he might not have been able to improve his draft status yesterday, his decision not to play could have dropped him a few spots. He may have great advisors, but they can't predict the outcome of such uncharted waters. They don't have a wealth of data points to draw from, so they're making educated guesses at best.

He is clearly a pioneer on this one, but I have watched enough of those combine and drafts to know that mileage on an RB is a big deal.  It was likely not just about the potential injury, but also about keeping the overall mileage down too.  Somewhat similar to his decision to skip the spring, which probably had a more profound impact on the Stanford 2016 season BTW.  We will never know if he would have been injured, but he would have added mileage to his body if he played in the game, just as the spring was going to add mileage to the body.

FWIW - I also remain convinced that CMAC will have to disclose his previous undisclosed lower body injury to NFL teams, and then those NFL teams will get this decision. I am confident that prior injury is one of the missing variables that would help us understand the draft calculus the McCaffery family implemented here.  FWIW2 - I do not believe that CMAC or the Stanford AD owes us (fans/donors/alums/students) any information on those injuries.
