For those who don't remember, Johnny Knox was a WR for Chicago Bears. His contract recently got terminated because it's unlikely he'll play again from spinal cord injury. Here's the link.

Here's the hit if you've never seen it. Probably the worst I've seen. Up there with the 2002 NCG with Willis Mcgahee's knee

I had to stop that video the second I saw his back bending backwards.

Very scary and nasty... Lucky he's not paralyzed.

One of the worst sports injury videos Ive seen.

Its on par with Shaun Livingston's knee injury and Mcgahee's knee injury.

Did the defender get a suspension? That, folks, is classic leading with the helmet.

Lol.... did you even watch the video? The defender was bending down to pick up a fumble and Knox dove for it and got crushed. He wasn't trying to tackle Knox at all.

Wow that was nasty. Knox is very lucky he isn't in a wheel chair right now.
