Mills has modern medicine in his corner but what was scary was running out of bounds in garbage time without being hit in his redshirt freshman year and tearing the ACL again. That may just scare off some suitors.
Speaking of Namath, I was in Soldier Field with what turned out to be his last NFL game. My dad took my brother and myself to see Broadway Joe, one of the few non-Bears that my dad liked. Too bad I was too young to be into it, but I would have liked to have kept those tickets as a souvenir.
