One of the things everyone will remember about the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft is the freefall for Myles Jack, the hyper-talented UCLA linebacker currently dealing with knee issues.
Prior the draft, Jack was considered a top-five prospect, one of the best football players in the entire class. But a knee injury is a major problem for men making business decisions about football players.
As such, Jack, who made comments about possibly only playing three years in the NFL before Thursday's opening round, didn't get picked with the first 31 selections.
Jack let everyone know how he felt about it on Friday, posting a video of himself dunking a basketball -- very casually, might I add -- on a regulation-sized basketball goal.

Jack is easily the biggest storyline of the second round of the draft (assuming Laremy Tunsil doesn't fire up his Twitter account again), with the top talent surpassing the plethorea of Alabama players still on the board.
Helping the linebacker's cause is a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN, who reports Jack was told by Dr. James Andrews he doesn't need microfracture surgery.
At the moment anyway: Jack said before the draft he might need it some day. Microfracture is a major fear for NFL teams, because it saps the explosiveness from players -- few recover 100 percent from the procedure.
