Larry Csonka almost retired after his first season

Glad Shula came here and Larry got taught to use his elbow not head to power forward

Awesome, thanks fish. Thank God he didn't retire! I worshipped him like a God when I was growing up.

A buddy sent this to me and i had no idea

Glad he stuck with it and became an all time great

I didn't know that story either. It is a bit of a cautionary tale for those that declare a player 'injury prone'. Reality is that being 'injury prone' is not a constant. For example, some players can improve their habits and overcome early injuries.

Did not know. That’s wild.

JaguarGator9 is a seriously underrated YouTuber. Just found his channel a couple of months ago. He has put together some awesome content of forgotten NFL history.

Can you imagine how that could have changed the Dolphins fortunes?

Glad he was able to overcome that and carve out a HOF career.
