The curse of Big Ten linemen continued at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis on Saturday. Michigan's Maurice Hurst, a potential first-round pick, will miss the rest of the combine due to a heart condition.
Adam Schefter of ESPN first reported the news:
Michigan DT Maurice Hurst, projected as a potential first-round pick, was diagnosed today with a heart condition, league sources told ESPN. Hurst will not go through combine drills and will undergo further testing this week.

CBS draft analyst Dane Brugler followed with his own report, as it sounds like a serious issue:
Heard whispers about this yesterday. Teams are "very" concerned. https://t.co/hNoQ5S6s6g
