Imagine getting a career-ending injury just before signing your rookie contract... that would be the worst...

Seems he got lucky. I wish him a quick recovery.

Forget career ending, if that opened his femoral artery he probably bleeds out before help can get there unless one of his friends of a bystander really knows how to stop the bleeding.

I'd imagine it's a really tough balance between being a good friend and doing something you've probably always done/would do if you were a "regular guy" and balancing the off field injury as a soon to be 21 year old multi millionaire aspect of things. Glad he wasn't hurt, he didn't do anything wrong, and he was likely being a great friend.

Yep, but he needs to go into a bubble til he signs his contract, although I remember the Patriots rb destroying his knee playing flag football in the sand, so it can happen doing anything

That was absolutely awful. Robert Edwards. Granted, that was a Pro Bowl affiliate game "Rookie Beach Bowl". Ridiculous.

Career ending? It hits his artery and he's dead.

I'd argue that would end his career.
