REPORT: TCU OT Marcus Cannon Diagnosed With Cancer « NFL Mocks | Covering the 2011 NFL Draft & Your #1 NFL Mock Draft Database

Some horrible news was leaked in NFL circles today regarding second-round prospect Marcus Cannon of TCU. According to the sources, Cannon has testicular cancer, but it is treatable if dealt with soon. It looks like to news of his cancer is causing him to drop down draft boards according to Josh Buchanon of JBScouting.com. It is a very scary and sad situation for Cannon.

Cannon is currently the 6th rated offensive tackle by NFL Draft Scout.

No, it's expected to be declared benign.

TCU offensive lineman Marcus Cannon has tested positive for a treatable form of lymphoma after a battery of tests, a league source tells PFT.

The good news for Cannon is that this form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma is treatable. The timing of the news is unfortunate of course just days before the draft.

A rumor was circulated last month that Cannon had testicular cancer, which isn’t true. A biopsy was then performed to clear the matter up, with the results sent to all 32 teams.

Unfortunately, the results of the biopsy showed that Cannon has lymphoma. Doctors had previously been aware of a benign mass that was present for years and is in his stomach/pelvic area.

Doctors are recommending that Cannon will have to undergo chemotherapy, which could be potentially finished in 12 weeks. Even if Cannon has the most advanced stage of the disease, he could be finished with treatments in 24 weeks and the doctors have informed Cannon he could “hopefully” continue with his football career at that time.

We wish Cannon all the best at this difficult time as he readies to treat the disease.

thankfully he does not have the testicular cancer, which was an erroneous report...

No you were right on and it a shame that the test revealed another form of cancer. Where do you see cannon going now Come back to Newyork. Thanks I was hoping this would have been raiders pick in round two. Obviously I think hes going to go alot later in the draft now.

4th round....
