Brain tumor the furthest thing from mind of Robert Quinn

Posted Nov 3, 2008
The fact that Robert Quinn is talking about his brain tumor and his freshman season as a starting defensive end with the Tar Heels in the same sentence, and not lying in a coma in the intensive care unit at Medical University Hospital in Charleston recovering from a life-threatening surgery, doesn't seem to phase the soft-spoken former Fort Dorchester High School star. "When I first had the surgery there were some doubts that I might ever play football again," Quinn said. (Charleston Post and Courier)
