  • Last season, Chicago Bears tight end Zach Miller almost lost his leg in one of the most devastating knee injuries ever to happen on an NFL field.
    Today, he's back in the gym and wants back on the field.
    "Doubt me. You'll be wrong."

      I wish they would expand upon who exactly made the initial call to go to a hospital 45 minutes away. Something is definitely missing because I’m here to tell you as a 23 year fire department veteran, the medics just don’t go to a hospital of their choice. There should be strict protocols and standard operating procedures in place that dictate where a patient is to be transported to. Very interesting to say the least. Damn lucky his assistant trainer spoke up and advocated for him.

    I was told for almost 2 weeks that they couldn't find a pulse in my foot and they'd most likely have to amputate my leg from the knee down. I also had that external fixator (metal rod device) attached to me for about 2 months and had 12 surgeries done; it's 5 months later now, I'm able to stand on both legs and I'm so thrilled at the idea of being able to walk once again. I just thought I'd share my story if anyone else is going through this too and they're feeling down. Keep fighting.

      This is about the qb, and some about Zach

      Never let an injury stop you from what you love to do. I tore my ACL in the last game of my 8th grade year on JV after the varsity players and school were asking me to play varsity in 9th grade and I came back in 10th grade as RB on varsity and scored 2 touchdowns our first game against one of the best teams in our division. There are players playing football and basketball with 1 arm or hand or missing fingers and they don't let that stop them. Especially with something like a tear or any breaking, after treatment, you'll be stronger than you were before the injury. Just know that if no one else believes in you, other people who have come back from injuries and I believe in you.

Next season my senior year, started off very well, I was going off again. 4th game of the season broke my collarbone do to a late hit on the sidelines. If I wouldn’t have gotten injured there could have been so many opportunities, I broke my highschool’s record for most rushing yards in a game, 3 times, also beat the touchdown record once.
