Star's condition might not be heart related
Feb. 26, 2013 - 1:20 AM ET

According to a source close to draft insider Tony Pauline, Utah DT Star Lotulelei's medical issue might not be heart related after all.

Pauline's source "said it's hoped that it's not a heart condition but rather dehydration, too much sodium in his diet or rapid weight loss in a short timeframe that prompted tests to reveal his heart wasn't pumping at full capacity." Lotulelei apparently lost 10 pounds in the last three days due to travel and a hectic schedule, which could have altered the tests.
