Awesome news

He may never play football again, but I hope he’ll be walking.

Unfortunately, I have to agree. Let's all hope for the best.

Walking well is one thing; that alone would be awesome. Playing football at all, let alone well may be an entirely different matter at such an early stage. Earn a degree, prepare for a non-gridiron playing career, and hope for the best.

Right. He's already had a football career that 99.99% of all men can only dream of.

Get the degree, get a good job, raise a family.

That sounds like the injury Robert Edwards of the Patriots had about 20 years ago. He was a rookie RB that made the Pro Bowl. He was playing in an ridiculous beach flag football game the league set up when he shredded virtually every ligament in his knee and also suffered nerve and artery damage. He almost had his lower leg amputated. Amazingly, he made it back to play a few games for the Dolphins several years later. But that was the end of a very promising career. He should be in his 40s now and I hope he can walk normally.

Jaylon Smith of Notre Dame has recovered 100% and is playing well in Dallas.

Jaylon Smith of Notre Dame has recovered 100% and is playing well in Dallas.

Immediately thought of that when I heard this news. Jaylon looks incredible now so hopefully Milton has similar luck on what I’m sure is just an awful recovery process. Really hoping to see the kid come back to great things. He is fun to watch.
