Demarcus Thomas is no stranger to suffering an injury on the football field, but when he was airlifted to a Memphis hospital in November, things were different.
During a normal practice in the midst of the 2020 season, the Ole Miss tight end found himself unable to move after what appeared to be a routine hit during a drill. Thomas was rushed to the hospital due to what head coach Lane Kiffin said was an inability to feel any sensations or move while they awaited the helicopter to land on the practice field.
Now, five months later, Thomas finds himself back on that same practice field as he, and the rest of the Ole Miss team, participates in spring drills for the first time in two years.
