After Miami’s 28-27 victory over Florida State on Saturday evening, Barry Jackson from The Miami Herald broke the news that star Miami Hurricanes WR Ahmmon Richards’ football career is over due to a neck injury.
Before I could get home to post the report, Richards himself confirmed the news via his twitter account.
When my buddy texted me the Jackson article on my drive home from Hard Rock Stadium, I got incredibly emotional. I feel so bad for any player, but especially a player of Richards’ rare talent and skill, to have their career cut short by injury.
