During the 2007 football season, plenty of folks were presuming that LSU defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey could be the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.

As it now stands, Dorsey might be this year’s Alan Branch.

According to Howard Balzer of the Sports Xchange, NFL scouts have lingering concerns about a stress fracture that Dorsey suffered during the 2006 season.  Per Balzer, Dorsey was sent to an Indianapolis hospital for further testing after undergoing a physical at the Scouting Combine.

Dorsey had not planned to work out at the Combine.  He said that he’d stopped working out due to the recent death of his grandmother.

A year ago, Dorsey considered entering the draft but recognized that the leg injury could hold him back.
