One year after accident, Bobby Roundtree is working hard on his body — and on our minds

On May 1, Bobby Roundtree tweeted a workout video along with a three-word promise:

“I won’t stop.”

There appears to be no stopping Roundtree, the former Illinois defensive end who suffered a severe spinal injury in a May 2019 swimming accident near his home in Largo, Florida.

Roundtree, 22, hasn’t played since his sophomore season, when he won the team’s Dick Butkus award as its defensive MVP. Once a promising NFL prospect, he has traded his football goals for this enormous one: to walk again.

He already told you he isn’t going to stop.

“Don’t know what QUIT means,” he tweeted on May 4.
