Wow. All that work to rehab and come back for basically naught.

Coming back from that to play a single down is remarkable and a huge achievement

He does get to live the rest of his life after rehabed too

4/19/21 9:51am

I really admire the work and dedication to come back at all. He didn't have to.

He had 20 million reasons to come back

I think it was a matter of him wanting to prove to himself he could get back to where he was...mission accomplished...

I think he proved to himself he could play again & is now prioritizing family

He must’ve found nobody would sign him.

At this point and situation he'd only considering for a backup position

I also imagine teams were scared off by his injury.

Not exactly the kind of career you want to have as the #1 overall pick

He has nothing to prove to anyone. Coming back from an injury like that...

I can think of lots of overall #1 picks who should be jealous of his career.

#35 on the career passer rating list. 35,000 yds. Not bad

All very impressive. Too bad he will always be remembered as the unfortunate

Big Daddy D

I don't think so. He was 20+ picks above Rogers. Almost every team passed on

ALUF 1990

He will be remembered for his comeback - as he should be.

At this point, quality of life has to be the priority
