When I saw EJ Henderson going through drills full speed at training camp this year I couldn't believe my eyes. Here is a guy who was riding a motorized scooter around the Vikings practice facility last winter. He has a permanent titanium rod in his leg. After looking closely at the picture above you'll know why. He fractured his femur. For those of you that don't know, the femur is that really big bone in your thigh.
EJ had to talk the organization out of placing him on the PUP, and they wanted to be cautious with an injury like that. But here he is, 6 months later, starting at middle linebacker again, laying people out in the Vikings preseason game against the 49ers.
Is this guy even human? He's running around at age 30 with a metal pole holding his leg together!!!!
I don't know how the Vikings will do this year, but one thing I do know is they have the heart and soul of the defense back, and its nothing short of amazing.
