Isn't some wide reciever back this year after rehabbing last year from a near death motorcycle accident. Cleveland or something, 1st round pick too I think.

Yeah, no helmet. I say it's karma coming up to bite him, but then again, it was bound to happen.

Minime, Clevelands WR coming back from knee injury is Braylon Edwards. Their tight end Kellen Winslow Jr is the one who got in the motorcycle accident.Kosmo For President '08, '12, '16... However long it takes

Report for Ben is he was hit by a vehicle (minivan or full size car?) and was thrown into the windshield and then sent earthbound. Jaw, sinus cavity and knees took the brunt of it. Plastic surgeon called in. He must resemble a pound of hamburger more than anything.
And yes, NO HELMET.
I dont care how well you ride, someone can always run an intersection and ruin your mellon.

My understanding was broken jaw, sinus cavity, possible nose? and missing the majority of his teeth - along with a lot of blood due to a very long head wound.
Knees were questionable, there are conflicting reports and most say that they were superficial wounds and nothing serious.
Although he was not wearing a helmet he was going close to the speed limit, which is probably why we still get to discuss his ability to play football again this year."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr SuessComment

1. Wear a helmet.
2. Don't ride in metropolitan areas.
I've wanted a bike for years, but I'll never buy one as long as I live in Houston.
Consider this also further proof of these guys taking things for granted. If I had a multi-million dollar job and they suggested I wear a helmet or not ride... I wouldn't. As Bradshaw alluded to, there's time for all that stuff you "just want to" do after you retire.----------------------------

The way I look at it is, the majority of his injuries were to his head. Think about how how better shape he would be in if he was wearing a helmet.Comment

Why? The NFL does not gaurentee contracts. Do you honestly expect a multi-millionare 24 year old to always do the "smart" thing. Basically I don't do more dangerous stuff because I simply cannot afford to. Bradshaw lost all respect on people caring what he said (from a lot of people at least) when he failed to show up for pre superbowl celebrations last year. He is certainly not the example of what you should, or should not do "for the game" or even for your team when not obligated by contract.Originally posted by Grey Goose
He got lucky, theres no doubt about that, but one takes risks in everything they want to do. Yes wearing a helmet is smart, but not legally required.
