If he were on a pro roster, and making millions, we wouldn't be hearing any of this.

Bingo! Accidents happen that change your life forever. This seems like a total accident, not the schools fault.

Right and Wrong! He never sniffed an NFL camp. This issue is all about USC and yes, it is a lame lawsuit. IMO

Yeah he did.....
Professional career

After going undrafted in the 2010 NFL Draft, Johnson signed a contract immediately after the draft with the Tennessee Titans.

In his rookie season, Stafon Johnson was injured in a preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 15, 2010. His ankle was severely dislocated by an opposing tackler accidentally landing on Johnson's planted right leg. He is estimated to be out for at least 8–12 weeks.[17] [18] He cleared waivers and was placed on IR.

I actually hope he wins mainly because it's USC and I think they have it coming one way or another. But, if the player was instructed to use the "monkey grip" and there were not proper safety precautions then I think that is grounds for a lawsuit. How much he gets would be up for debate.
