INDIANAPOLIS (Feb. 22, 2003) -- Everywhere Byron Leftwich shows up this week, he keeps getting the same question: What's wrong with his left leg?
Leftwich's answer for NFL teams -- nothing.
But before anyone takes Leftwich's word and makes him a high draft pick in April, the doctors want to make sure the leg he has hurt each of the last two seasons really is healthy.
"I got chicken pox twice, too," the former Marshall quarterback said. "It's something you have to go through. You hurt two fingers, even though they're different fingers, and they say you've got finger problems."
This is no joking matter for Leftwich, whose most important examination at this week's NFL Combine clearly will be in the medical rooms, not on the field.
If Leftwich is correct, and nothing's wrong, he will be in line to be a top pick in April's NFL Draft .
