After spraining the AC joint in his shoulder during the Sooner's season-opening loss to BYU and then aggravating the injury against arch-rival Texas, Oklahoma's Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Sam Bradford had surgery today on his right shoulder, thus bringing his senior season to a premature close. Dr. James Andrews informed Kent Bradford his son's thirty-five minute procedure went "just as we expected" and that the patient was experiencing some soreness but otherwise resting comfortably. The talented signal caller, who chose to forego the NFL draft as a consensus top ten pick and return for one more year on campus, has said he plans to declare for the coming draft if his expected four to six month recovery goes as planned. Given that his potential position in the annual talent pool may dip accordingly, the decision to stick around Norman could indeed prove to be an expensive one. Maybe hindsight should be factored into quarterback ratings.
