Words can't describe how happy I was to see him on this. Good to see he's still recognized even years later

[@Stopcommentingthesamecomments]

Obviously hes still recognize wtf u talking about

[@aarongodwin5889]

This man is a total b.a. he was a beast on the field. I've gone through similar injuries but with mine they weren't sure if I was going to live then once I came out of the coma they were debating on keeping my leg. We all have a purpose and God will always put us on the track he wants us on. Glad to see you're still active man!!

[@Mr.MallyMall]

He's a class act and surprisingly funny. I enjoyed watching this video.

[@LeBeautiful]

It’s a blessing to see him recover, happy and well. Honestly I’m thankful he’s a huge Oreo Stan too 😌

I remember feeling sick to my stomach when he first got injured! I remember him trying to move his hands..trying to see if he could feel something. Whew. I don’t know him personally but boy am I happy to see how far he’s come. So happy for him. For his family! God is good!! 😩❤️🙏🏾
