He never feared for his overall health.
Really at no time did Deonte Clyburn have concerns he would never again play the sport he loves. Even as the blood clots flowed through his body, those thoughts never entered his mind.
There was worry, sure. Like when he started to notice he was winded climbing stairs. That had never happened before, but the sensation most definitely created pause in the mind of the 6-foot, 230-pound linebacker who considered himself in really good shape.
OK, going to the hospital kinda freaked him out.
