he was my neighboor when he was a newborn and a young kid. he has a great family and great support system from PSU. Adam is a man with great character!!! Keep up the good work Adam...many people in the world can learn and be inspired by your courage.
"Penn State has played football for 115 years and they've had 71 All-Americans but no Nittany Lion has ever stood taller than number 43 does tonight...A miraculous moment for all of us." *chills*
@NWRams27 I hope it went well! Welcome back! Keep your head up and keep moving forward. It doesn't matter if you get knocked down. What matters is getting up again, and keeping going!
I'm an Alabama fan & no matter if you're a rival to penn state & dislike the football program to your very bone, this is one of the most inspirational stories I've ever seen. A 3% chance to ever walk again & he's jogging on that field a year later! It's a miracle that's what it is
I recently suffered a football injury similar to Adams. Thankfully, it only effects my right arm. The story of Adams recovery is an inspiration to me to never quit and keep working to recover. You are a hero to me Adam
Yes. I am an OSU fan and was at the game. It was an amazing moment.
I would love to see the video...
BTW, Tyson Gentry (2008 SR for OSU FB) has been paralyzed since a hit in practice, and reportedly he has just recently started having feeling in his legs. I hope he gets to have a moment like in the video above.
I went to the highschool he went to...ive been told by many teachers that were interviewed for the book that was writen about him that the doctors dont even know how he ran on the feild because even to this day he cant run...the only explination they can give is addrenline
He came to my school today he's a lawyer that was his last time he also ran too

@slack3r9 Probably BassAssassin, he never has ANYTHING good to say about PSU football, I wouldn't be surprised if he blamed JoePa for Adam's injury.
