Yes! I remember speaking with you. You gave us your card. He is a hard working humble young man and a true team player, who was bleeding blue through and through. He had no other choice, either play hurt or leave. For people to assume that he just wanted to jump ship; they are totally incorrect. Some people are too quick to judge but don't know the true story.
Thank you for the well wishes.
Maybe you should ask the head coach to tell you he truth. He is far from a quitter.
