Is it true Caleb Fairly has had two back surgeries? I feel like that could be problematic for someone so young.

There were two spots, one they decided to have surgery one, and thought the other would heal on it's own. When it didn't heal on it's own, they had surgery on it as well. Two back surgery are surely concerning, but he played through the injuries and supposively (I don't know medical, just repeating what I read) they're not high on the spine which is the ultra concerning area.
And a recently public leaked info (which right before the draft means it come be fake as hell with some team trying to tank his draft stock so he'll fall and they can select him), suggested he might not have full 100% feeling back in a big toe.
I have no freaking idea weather to put this guy in my top 5 wants, or take him completele off due to medical reasons.
But I'm under the assumption that if he's still on the Packers board, Gute will trade up for him if he get close enough to 29... and if he drops the Packers at #29 then that's probably because he's off teams draft boards which will probably include the Packers.
I can't help it, I'm a risk taker at times, and he has too much talent and at a position of super need for the Packers to not give it a chance... at least based on whom else I believe will be dropping to the late 20s.
I'm hoping for some surprises picks that drop guys down further to the Packers.
