UNC DL Nazair Jones was nearly paralyzed five years ago

Posted Sep 27, 2016
Nazair Jones came home after his Roanoke Rapids (N.C.) High team lost in the state playoffs so wiped out from his exceptional performance that he fell asleep on the couch. The next morning, he got up like normal. But when he tried to walk, Jones could not move. Excruciating pain gripped his legs. They called an ambulance and he went to the hospital. (ESPN.com)
