See the picture below:
Looks like a scalped line going up from the ear. He has a similar line on the other side of his head.

I assumed it was from his accident as a kid. When his hair gets shorter I guess you can see the line

Is the scar ear to ear? Because the top image has a scar on the right side...the bottom on the left.

Yep, it's a scar

I can't find a pic of both sides, but my best guess is yes. It was a very serious injury

Is the scar ear to ear?
quote:
AJ underwent 10 to 12 hours of plastic surgery to repair the orbital. A plastic surgeon made an incision starting at his left ear and going across the top of the skull to his right ear so the skin on his face could be worked around. To repair the orbital area, doctors took cartilage from behind his ear and inserted five metal plates held together by screws to rebuild the orbital bone. AJ still has the same plates in his head.
AJ started school after the surgery and still had the staples in his head. The first couple of days he came home a little upset. Kids called him “railroad track” because of the way the staples looked going up his head. Later, some kids told him it looked like he’d cut number 1s in the side of his head because for a while his hair wouldn’t grow due to the scar tissue.

I noticed it and figured it was from his surgery when he was a kid. Amazing he survived that..... Miraculous is probably a better word.

It's pretty gnarly looking in person. Said it still itches randomly.

It's where they inserted the WIN. Part of the Process.
Next year's starter will be having this procedure next spring.

Jesus H Christ, I never heard this story before.
Wow.
I got to hear all about the Notre Dame lb's dead girlfriend.
Never heard about this story about AJ, just like yall probably never heard about Jarvis Jones' brother's murder.
Anyway, damn.... I feel retarded never having heard this story before.

His mom did an interview last season and talked about it. Its pretty much impossible to do the story justice but one thing that stood out was that she told him as a kid that God gave him a 2nd chance at life, so he should live it to the fullest, or something to that effect.
It was very inspirational, but I kinda get the feeling that AJ doesn't want it brought up all the time, which is why most of the media folks rarely, if ever mention it. If I can find a transcript of the interview with DeeDee, I will link it...

Personally I would like to forget it. Near death experiences can do a number on ya if you think about it or constantly are asked about it.
