The Big Comeback

Priest Holmes career has been plagued by injuries starting in college. A knee injury in college kept him from being drafted in the NFL. After making his way in, he had a series of 1000 yards rushing season, and then after a serious hip injury, he had a record setting 27 touchdowns in 2003 (later broken by Shaun Alexander.) He was elected to the Pro Bowl 3 times, but then their was the injury that everyone thought would end his career. He severely hurt his spine and everyone finally said that it was the end of his career. He recently went to the Kansas City Chiefs camp and began practicing with hopes of returning to his days in the NFL. They do not know if he will ever play again, but he sure is trying. I respect his determinism in wanting to return to the NFL, but I think after all that has happened he should wait a little longer. The man suffered an injury that was so damaging to his spine that doctors feared it could get worse with time. The spinal cord is a vital part of the body and I don't know if he should be going back out on the field and testing it out again. Who knows if hell ever play again, but next time, if their is a next time or even an oppurtuniy to be next time, he might not get out as lucky as he did the first time.
