Do you have that special feeling?

Dustin from Jacksonville, FL

Will you please tell us about the player you feel overcame the greatest challenges to make it in into the NFL?

Two immediately come to mind: Jim Plunkett and Rocky Bleier. Plunkett was born to a blind mother and his father was afflicted with progressive blindness. Bleier was wounded in Vietnam and walked with the aid of a cane when he returned to the Steelers.

Vic, what gives a player the label of being injury prone? Is it just a bad luck of genetics? Not a willingness or grit to play through pain?
