Kevin Everett who was a tight end for the bufflao bills had a serious paralyzing spinal injury that ended his football career. His doctors told him that there would be around 5% chance he would be able to walk again after the surgery. Three months after the surgery Kevin is walking with the assistance of a person, and doing rehabilitation. Kevin is now living a normal life, but wiht no physical games or running. Kevin is one of the greatest stories in the NFL, because his injury shook the world. He speaks about what happened then, and all he remembers is waking up in a hospital with his mother by his side. this story is one of the greatest in history because Kevin overcame all odds to be able to walk again. Hopefully he will be able to keep this going for him becasue he is on the fast track to becoming a fully healed man. He was able to overcome all of the doubts in the world to show people that recovery form that injury can be done.
