OK - American college football fans....it's that time of year and we are cranking up the fan machines getting ready to go.
Two years ago, Alabama had one of its greatest players to ever play for the team, go down with a compound leg fracture after having a stunning season....Tyrone Prothro. Sadly, it was announced today that after two full years and multiple surgeries, he will never set foot on the field again.
Watch this video, it starts out slowly showing him being carted off the field....then at the middle you will see some of the most stunning pure athetic SPEED ever. The guy had an afterburner that would torch opponents.
And of course the Tour de Force, the final catch in the last one minute of the video....named The Best College Football Play of 2005 by voters. He catches the ball behind the back of the defender while clutching it to the other guy's helmet....all the while vaulting over the other player into the end zone.
We only had him for a season and a half....a great player...
