    Let me tell you the story of a Florida legend. Dock Luckie was an unreal superstar in the state of Florida. He dominated kids in HS and was yesterdays Aaron Donald at UF. He could totally take over a game with his dominance. He was a man among boys. He set the bench press record in college and was destined to be the top 1 or 2 NFL pick. Last game of season he suffered a career ending knee injury. He ended up losing multimillions of dollars. He eventually became a sheriff and could be seen escorting Steve Spurrier on the sidelines at games. We all love football, especially playing but there comes a point when football becomes a business and you have to make business decisions.

      Great story! W hen you think of all the guys whose career ended back in the day it makes you sick. The number ACL's are enormous that used to be done. Would not be surprised if today's medicine would have helped Mr Luckie?
