Last week, Ojabo suffered an Achilles injury while doing a public workout for NFL scouts/coaches.
Michigan LB David OJabo, an expected first-round pick next month, just got hurt at Michigan’s pro day and limped off the field with the help of trainers, per source.

ESPN released video of Ojabo’s injury, and many disgusted NFL fans noted the cold reaction from scouts/coaches, who just walked away without showing concern for Ojabo.
I know the #NFL is a cold business but watching the lack of concern or empathy from the scouts, coaches and observers following David Ojabo’s injury bugs me. Perhaps someone should’ve checked on him instead of grabbing the ball and moving to the next drill. Just a thought.. pic.twitter.com/28aR88zJfk

How the NFL feels about players in a 20 sec clip. Protect the game. The players are disposable. The accuracy. https://t.co/52B9qBYWJf

I've counted at least 6 scouts, coaches, or observers walking away from David Ojabo’s injury. Surely, the natural reaction would be to approach and help him? https://t.co/Vh8uHP8mxH

Next time you critique players sitting out Bowl games or holding out for a contract. Watch this. They are treated like this. Disgusting to everyone watching there. Prayers for David Ojabo and I hope for a full and fast recovery. https://t.co/bBu4x4mkMu

Had to delete a couple of responses to this. All I can say is this utterly disgusts me, and everyone in this clip that didn’t immediately attend to Ojabo should re-evaluate what they’re doing in this sport. https://t.co/liiyHDMSPU

This is disgraceful what a shame no one helped Ojabo immediately after his injury also whoever the person is that picked up the ball is an absolute disgrace to the great game of football and should be fired https://t.co/7Xirxqb4jD
