Kentucky fans have become quite familiar with J.J. Weaver’s story and the six fingers he’s had on his right hand since birth. As UK’s prominence has grown at the national level, though, the story of Weaver’s condition has quickly spread to the greater college football audience.
With Kentucky’s matchup against Georgia being College GameDay’s featured game of the week, the popular pregame show decided to highlight the standout pass rusher’s extra appendage and how he has used it to spread awareness for people dealing with the same condition.
Weaver was born with polydactyly, a condition that appears in approximately one in every 1,000 births.
