The running back has battled injuries his entire career. He even injured his knee in his final college game at Stanford in 2018.
He was a stud at Stanford. In 2017, he rushed for over 2000 yards and was the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. He was also the Doak Walker Award winner and Pac-12 offensive player of the year. He was a first-team All-American.
He’s yet to return to that form, but he won’t be further attempting to come back from his injury woes in Washington.
