David Fair, running back at MSU...a physical specimen. State fans will know who I'm referring to.

Caddy Williams. Only year he was injury free at Auburn was his senior year. And then he was on fast pace to being great at Tampa and got hurt again.
I was thinking about his injuries the other day.

Torn ACL
Torn Patella Tendon (in both knees)
Broken fibula

What else did I miss?

Roy Upchurch. Could have been a beast if not for injuries.

Glen Dorsey, was a monster at LSU until that illegal block ruined that knee.

Wait...Wut? Never panned out?? Cadillac finished his career with 3,831 yards on 741 attempts and 45 touchdowns, breaking the all-time Auburn career records of most rushing attempts by Joe Cribbs and most touchdowns by Bo Jackson.

Edit: oh by the way he was the #5 pick in the draft and the NFL Rookie of the Year and the NFL comeback player of the year.

I was fully convinced he was going to have a 1500 yard 1st team all-SEC type of season in 2004. That kid was a powerful, powerful runner.

Yep, David Fair the hometown boy from Starkville High. Ran wild a few games then destroyed his knee. Would have loved to have seen him stay healthy.

Danario Alexander and Brian Smith. Smith was Kuligowski's first finished product at Mizzou. He hurt his hip and missed his Sr season. Alexander embarassed defenders when his knees were halfway healthy.
