Did you know...?

That Tim Bowens is missing 3 toes on his left foot due to a lawnmower accident???

Its unbelievable he can play DT as well as he has without them. Im just imagining how important your toes would be for a DT who routinely has to dig in and drive to hold on the line. Thats amazing...

Bowens is missing three toes on his left foot because of a lawnmower accident four years ago, before his senior year of high school in Okolona, Miss. That hasn't affected his ability. He played his senior season. But it is another question.

That actually came out when we drafted him. But I forgot about it.

Thats crazy. Im surprised he has as much stability as he has with 3 toes missing.

wait, how old is bowens? that says "four years ago before his senior year in high school" but wouldn't that make him only a junior in college? I'm confused?

He just turned 32 a couple months ago I believe.

Just imagine how much he would weigh if he had his 3 toes!!!!!

That is amazing for such a dominent player when he is healthy.

Imagine the pain he went through though. Having 3 toes cut off.

I would think that he has prosthetics in place... maybe not, but I couldn't imagine him not, if they would help.

yeah... but think all the injuries he's had. He probably can take it.

Back problems don't compare to having toes cut off though.
