TONY WROTEN was a junior wide receiver at Garfield High School in Seattle, playing wide receiver. He was running a crossing pattern when the ball was thrown to him. He planted his right leg to cut across the field and suddenly found himself down on the ground. He walked to the sideline, tried to run a little bit there to make sure he was OK, but was told he wasn't going back in the game.
Wroten was set to be a star in college at the University of Washington as both a football and basketball player. But that knee injury, diagnosed the next day as a torn ACL, put an end to that.
