Houston Texans’ linebacker Brian Cushing is not the player he was when he came into the NFL as a first round pick back in 2009. But he’s still someone that can help out on the defensive side of the ball.
One reason for Cushing’s decline, aside from his age, is the fact that he claims he’s undergone “over 20” surgeries during his pro career.
Cushing explained just what it took for him to get ready for training camp as well as the upcoming season.
“There were times when I thought I might not be able to play anymore,” Cushing said, via John McClain of the Houston Chronicle.
