Was listening to Sirius XM last night with Pat Kirwan, who was high on Simmons and his example surprised me bc we all missed this guy: Ryan Clady
Tore his patella tendon playing basketball in the offseason. Was 23 years old at the time he tore it in late April of 2010. Here’s what happened after he was injured:
-Didn’t miss a game in 2010
-Played 5 more years in Denver after the injury
-Was a pro bowl tackle 3 years after injury (2011, 2012, 2014)
-1st team All-Pro 1 year after the injury (2012)
This might be the closest example bc the kid was really young when he was injured, like Simmons.
