T.J. Thorpe finally catches a break after injury-plagued start

Posted Aug 2, 2017
T.J. Thorpe has endured more than his fair share of tough breaks. In college, the highly touted wide receiver broke his left foot three times in four years while playing at UNC. When he transferred to Virginia for his senior year, he promptly broke his clavicle and missed another five weeks. This spring in Winnipeg, a tryout with the CFL's Blue Bombers had a rough start, too. (Winnipeg Free Press)
