    Thanks Chris Samuels!He was always a joy to watch.If my aging memory serves me right,he never allowed a sack as a 4-year starter.His senior year he never even allowed a QB pressure.

    Yeah — he said he just couldn’t go on and possibly get paralyzed — it sucks to come to that conclusion with the money and all — all we have is our health and that’s it.
