I really, really would have to question his sanity and I hope the league steps in and tell him it's not a good idea. I admire his gumption but he broke his back and is JUST starting to regain feelings in his legs. This guy has to think players like Mike Utley and Dennis Byrd(RIP). I've always said you don't F around with your neck, back, or heart.
Or the Bills TE who also made a full recovery on his injury.
He made enough with his signing bonus that should allow him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. If he blew it then don't know what to tell him.
did he break it? Last I heard it was the same injury Tommy Maddox had,...spinal cord bruise or some such
That desire will give him the motivation to move forward in his recovery. Doubt he'll ever play again, but at this point he needs to be as positive as possible.
This. He's gotta have some kind of goal to aim for during a difficult rehab. He may never play again, but the drive is what keeps him working towards recovery
Uh, yeah, I don't think you need to be concerned about Shazier being on the field for any games in the near future. . .
if they got him on pup or IR does he still get paid?
as of my understanding they don't have anything that they can do about it, his salary is garanted fully if he is injured the whole year.
It was pretty damn awesome watching Shazier walk across that draft floor Thursday! God has blessed this kid even though it’s likely he never plays another down. It was an amazing sight to see & made the hair stand up on my arm
