Illinois Football: Dre Brown’s Drive Will Propel the Illini

On Twitter, Illinois running back Dre Brown announced that once again he went down with an ACL tear that is going to keep him out of the 2016 season.

This makes it the second year in a row that Brown has been sidelined with the same injury.

When I was reading the Tweet he sent out on Tuesday night I am not going to lie, I teared up. The hurt this kid has to feel injury wise and emotionally is something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

To come back from one ACL tear is an impressive feat in itself, but now he is going to work back from a second ACL tear.
