There you go.  Amazing he wasn’t born with one.

Ward lost his in a bicycle accident from childhood from what I’ve read. Thurman Thomas lost his in a college pickup basketball game.

there is a HUGE difference in a partially torn/frayed ACL and a completely torn ACL.  You can't will a non existent ligament to hold that is not connected. I snapped My ACL twice in college, and had to have full reconstructions with cadaver ligaments... but a frayed is not a sprain, it will never regrow or heal... all that matters is the degree of fraying. So saying a couple guys played with frayed ACLs while others couldn't proves their toughness is stupid and idiotic... VERY VERY STUPID

 

 

That's news to me I assumed when they said a player tore his ACL it was always completely torn.    Partially torn should be a separate distinction entirely.    I completely tore a support ligament on the outside of my ankle in my early 20's and  it's always been unstable and easy to turn but I could wrap it and still function fine athletically.........I assumed Thurman Thomas had a severed ACL from what they've always said.

 

Not surprised people would lie/exaggerate though.........it's like the "Beasley has a broken leg" bullsh*t last season when he had a "fracture".........obviously not a full "break".
