Report: Utah DT Star Lotulelei Will Miss The Combine Will A Heart Condition

ESPNโ€™s Chris Mortensen reports recent echocardiogram tests revealed that Utah DT Star Lotulelei has a heart condition that will force him to miss his NFL Combine workout tomorrow.

Mortensen adds that Lotuleleiโ€™s left ventricle is operating at only 44 percent efficiency, which is considerably less that the normal range of 55-70 percent. Lotulelei is expected to return to Salt Lake City and undergo further testing.

Mike Garafolo reports that Lotuleleiโ€™s agent mentioned that he will see a heart specialist and is expected to do โ€œeverything at his pro day,โ€ which is on on March 20.

This is obviously a very concerning issue for Lotulelei, who many had as a solid Top 10 player in this yearโ€™s draft class. We โ€˜re hoping the issue is treatable and heโ€™s able to make a quick recovery, as he has a bright future ahead of him.
