After reports about his surgically repaired right knee scared away every team picking in the first round of the NFL Draft on Thursday, former UCLA linebacker Myles Jack hit the gym Friday morning in Chicago to try to shut the haters down with a big dunk and a shade-throwing sleep emoji:

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that Jack will not attend the second and third rounds of the draft Friday, instead opting to watch the event from a hotel room in Chicago. The second round starts at 4 p.m. Schefter also reported that Dr. James Andrews told Jack he would not require microfracture surgery, as Jack previously said could potentially happen in the future.
UCLA LB Myles Jack will not attend tonight’s draft, will watch in at a Chicago hotel instead, per source.

Dr. James Andrews, who examined Myles Jack in December, told the UCLA LB today that he does not need micro-fracture surgery.
