Is he going to continue playing football? I saw a report that said the doctors were saying he was lucky to even still be able to move. Something that severe makes you wonder, even if he can come back, will he be the same or is this another Greg Childs?

well I'm curious as to how reports would know what doctors had to say because of confidentiality. from what I have heard is he is very lucky that it wasn't nearly as severe as it could have been. the early reports have been that he could potentially return to practice in the fall but no sooner. bret said at some point he would let RW3 speak to the media and let him tell them what he wants to be known.

It quoted a tweet RWIII himself made. He tweeted out that's what the doctors told him.

Bielema said that he should be able to play football again but it's up to RW3 if he does.

Expected to make a full (physical) recovery. But who knows what that has done to his psyche. He was lucky to not be paralyzed.

I'd love to see him play again but I wouldn't blame him one bit if he decided not to suit up again.

Selfishly, I want to see him play. He was going to be great.

Not worth it IMO.

He will get a full medical scholarship if he doesn't want to risk it. He could learn how to coach if he truly loves the game, and start a career as a GA in 3 years under BB.

Yeah I loved playing football and thankfully never got injured but I'm not sure if I would have kept going after any type of neck injury. That's just such a big risk IMO.

You coaches are always able to recruit becuase they can identify with players more easily.
I like it.

I've had 2 lt knee scopes courtesy of HS football injuries and had my right knee scoped for a large medial meniscus tear(self-induced)

At age 53 I've gotten the "...you'll be lucky to get 10 yrs on either knee..."talk as well

This destruction catches up with us as we age.

I wouldn't let him play if he were my son
