Randy Jordan knows about scary, season-ending injuries. UNC freshman running back, Natrone Means, had just schooled linebacker Tommy Thigpen in a practice one-on-one drill. “Natrone runs him over, and everyone is like, ‘Oh, man,’ so now it’s my turn,” Jordan says. “So Tommy jumps back up there and unfortunately I’m next, so [Thigpen] took it out on me.” (Washington Redskins)
