Stafon Johnson Speaks About Weightlifting Injury: For the first time since the gruesome life-threatening weightlifting accident i September, University of Southern California running back is speaking about the injury. "It was just a regular day at the job," he said in his new voice. "Workouts. Regular day, regular day on the bench, regular weight. Next thing I know I'm gasping for air."

saw the interview he did with ESPN today, really moving stuff. It's incredible that he might be back playing by the Senior Bowl.

This is the sort of post-script to a story that is great to hear. I have wondered several times since his accident what happened to Mr. Johnson. I am glad that he is well on the road to recovery and that, though he'll probably never recover completely, he's not letting his accident prevent him from pursuing his dreams.
