Real reason Matt Leinart, the all world USC QB turned down the NFL? He couldn't have passed the physical. He was just operated upon. There is no way of knowing if he can still throw til he throws.

We removed the tendinitis on the inside of Matt's elbow through a small incision. The surgery went fine and there were no problems,'' Dr. James Tibone said in a statement released by the university. ``We found what we expected, a small degenerative part of his tendon. He'll be in a splint for 10 days, then he'll start to rehab.''

So he stayed at USC because he just loves the college life? He could be toast.
