RGIII Down But Not Out

RGIII tore his right ACL in 2009 and then had reconstructed surgery. RGIII’s doctor, Mark Adickes, said “never doubted he would recover fully and achieve his goal to play in the NFL. His work Ethic is ridiculous. All efforts post operatively were spent trying to slow him down.” RGIII won the Heisman Trophy in the 2010-11 season. Adicks said “I would much rather draft a player who has proven he can overcome adversity and return successfully from injury/ surgery. Very Few pro athletes have an injury-free career. With RGIII there should no doubt he is a tough guy and if at some point during his career an injury does occur you can be confident he will have little difficulty  returning to form.”
