Mack Strong retires after playing on Sunday

[GEM]

Sad story. He woke up with a pain in the neck. Played anyways. Had numbness in arms in 1st qtr. Leaves the game and docs tell him that a herniated disc is pinching his spinal cord. He runs the risk of paralysis with another hit. Talk about someone looking out for him!!! He's retired as of now.

I always liked him and think he is one of "the" best run blocking full backs that was to play. Man This is the first time I saw this. I feel bad for him really.

fullbacks take the most punishment, im glad he had a numb feeling, imagine if he played thru it?

Lorenzo neal needs to be careful as well, he is getting up there in age and those hits take a toll on ya. Same goes for terrell smith.

he was such a good blocker.

all those hits game after game.

its hard to imagine.

and he played through that neck injury.

hes a real fullback

I hope away from football he fully heals from his injury. One hell of a fullback, good luck to you Mack!
