When No. 3 overall pick Dante Fowler Jr. tore his ACL in his first practice as a professional player, it immediately became a devastating human-interest story. We like our athletes with character. Fowler has plenty of it, as he explained to Gus Bradley via Peter King that: "Whatever we find out, don’t worry about me, I’m good. I’ll come back stronger."
To see the No. 3 overall pick felled before he could even sign a contract is a reminder to everyone of the fragility of the human condition. One minute, Fowler was on top of the world.
