The injury was so bad that his younger brother, a DL, was crying on the field after observing the severity of it. Dave missed the entire '85 season but came back stronger than ever in '86 and was ultimately a 2nd Rd. pick by the Seahawks. Played 9 years in the NFL.
That does bring it back, thanks for posting. Right, he missed the entire following season. I didn't realize he had such a successful NFL career. Certainly he was so good that that was somewhat expected... my sense anyway. And you say at Arizona! Wow. Coincidentally, on that natural grass field, in '07 Oregon's Dennis Dixon had his knee injury and then in '10 James Rodgers of Oregon St had his knee injury. Fortunately it won't be until 2013 at the earliest that S.U. goes back there.
