Reports surfaced yesterday that Marcus Cannon's draft stock was falling due to reports of testicular cancer
Rumors began circulating of a possible Cannon illness when draft expert Josh Buchanan of JBScouting.com tweeted that Cannon “has testicular cancer . It’s treatable if dealt with soon.”
Buchanan later went on to tweet that the former TCU starter has had zero workouts or private visits.
“I was told they weren’t letting teams bring him in,” Buchanan tweeted. “Something’s up.”

TCU issued a statement refuting the claims and as a result the article was pulled pretty quickly.
Reports that former TCU offensive lineman Marcus Cannon has been diagnosed with testicular cancer are untrue, a TCU athletic department official said Thursday.
TCU Director of Media Relations Mark Cohen told the National Football Post that the early Thursday morning rumors that the 22-year-old Cannon had been diagnosed with cancer were “100 percent inaccurate.”
“It’s a false report,” Cohen told NFP (http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/TCU-refutes-report-that-says-Marcus-Cannon-has-testicular-cancer.html). “It stunned me. You wonder where did it come from? It’s disappointing that someone could just throw that out there.”
