Came back from a ACL and MCL injury in 8 ? months and now 10 months later he is top 5 in rushing in the league. You didn't even see this man crying on tv like some people, he manned the ? up and put in the rehab work on the low.

Dude is 7 yards from being the rushing leader in the league right now. AP is a ? special breed of player

    the same thing happened to welker and he hasnt missed a step
    even though nothing is guaranteed, i was pretty confident he would return to his original form given the type of athlete he is

    AP tore his ACL and MCL, big difference and none of those dudes never were on the level or AP or came back putting up the numbers he did. They say it typically takes 1 year from when you play to get back your explosiveness. This dude is on track for a 1500 yard season.

    The only person i remember tearing their ACL and MCL was Willis Mcghee and it took him a few years to recover.

    Jamal Charles was in the same rb tier as AP. he's one of the best rb's in the league

    and since the season started, there hasn't been a ton of talk about Peyton Manning through the week. I guess its because these guys are/were so great to begin with that its almost hard to be surprised at how they are playing.

    Jerry Rice also tore his acl in week 1 of a season and still came back in week 16. broke his kneecap in that game and came back that next season and put up 1000yds.

    I really think is b/c these guys were sort of in the superhuman category before their injuries, that nothing they do is gonna surpise people.

    Advanced medicine and personal recovery speed.

    Like dude that said Wes Welker. Welker tore his ACL and MCL in January and was back at 100% in September. Same time span as AP.

    Well for one rose got hurt at the end of april so since you cant count thats 6 months ago so if he came back in the beginning of january it'd be the same as AP but we all know he's not coming back in january. Second what is flaming? You too grown to call someone ? for u not liking them as a player

    Remember when people argued over CJ or AD being the better back? LOL
