Nussmeier fell from Heisman contender to 248th pick due to senior-year abdominal injury

Garrett Nussmeier's draft trajectory collapsed from early 2025 Heisman favorite and predicted top-ten pick to 248th overall selection by the Chiefs. His senior season at LSU was derailed by a season-long abdominal injury that left him ineffective and eventually benched as the starter.
