A few weeks back, one of the NFL's bright, young stars, Kelvin Benjamin, of the Carolina Panthers suffered a non-contact, season-ending knee injury, which flashed me back to last season when Virginia Tech lost their top two running backs, Shai McKenzie and Marshawn Williams, the same way. Is there a way colleges and NFL teams can better predict or prevent these sorts of injuries?
That's three RBs lost for the season for the #Hokies -- Shai McKenzie (ACL), Marshawn Williams (ACL), Jerome Wright (unspecified knee).

While I understand that injuries happen in the game of football, it just seems all too commonplace that there are so many today.
