- It takes years of hard work to become a famous and well-respected athlete, but sadly, it can all come to an end with just one injury. While some great athletes have decided to retire a bit early due to a few too many painful hits, others have suffered more dramatic wounds before they ever got to realize their full potential. Some got knocked down during one of their first seasons in the NFL or NBA, while others sadly suffered their big injuries before they got to make their debut in the pros. Let’s take a look at some athletes who were permanently injured just before making it big.

Which of these stories is the most tragic in your opinion? Do you know of any other athletes that belong on this list?
Greg Cook could have been one of the best QB's that ever played. He led the league in passing as a rookie. He averaged 17.4 yards per completion. He had three shoulder surgeries and never came back. It's so sad what happened to him. The injury led to invention of the West Coast Offense. ESPN should do 30 for 30 on him.
Robert Edwards look like he was gonna be a beast before the pro bowl when he blew his knee out playing beach touch football.
It's tragic that you included a pro wrestler. Put Jay Williams on the list instead.
all pretty tragic.. tho broy is my top. kobe bryant called him the hardest player to defend in the league.. blazers never recovered
Inky Johnson
Didnt think Corey Graves would be the thumbnail for this
StreetsAhead120 i do agree being compared to the other injuries but at least he made the list
If Corey Graves Didn’t Get Injured, He Would’ve Been A Massive Star Right Now!
TJ Fritz f
I argue he still is given how popular he is as an announcer. The man is set for life.
Hes more hated as an announcer.
Ahahah you're kidding, right?
He’s a star on commentary
Very well made and respectful video. Nicely done.
All the knee injuries im sorry for them and hope the best for them
Everybody remember Q from love and basketball he broke his leg rookie on the Lakers lol 🏀
I feel the pain of some of these people, I'm 16 and had to quit sports completely already due to having had 8 concussions, it's so hart breaking having to quit something you love so much
Sorry
Graves has taken what would have been a crushing blow and used it to motivate him to be a great wrestling commentator, right up there with Lawler and Heenan.
Corey graves injury sucks at least he is syill one of the best commentators of our generation
you say this like there isnt 4 people to pick from
Just seeing Corey Graves in the thumbnail with the title I really wanted to cry
Tyronne Prothro Alabama receiver not an Alabama fan but man was he awesome!
Lol Daunte Culpepper? He played six year before his injury. Six years in football is great. He was probably hit his peak, but there’s no way of knowing. He could’ve not had the injury and began regressing anyway.
Would have been nice to see the actual injury take place.
Missed David Wilson of The NY Giants. Dude was amazing to watch and his careers was cut short to an injury
Angelo Gonzalez oh yea the guy who always did backflips when he scored a touchdown
@@RandomGuy-sl2cv he does music now he follows me on Instagram and I follow him back he's very active with his fans
Nba Cmaccue that’s awesome
I went to school with Graves. Aka known as Matt Polinsky. Super cool dude. Shame he got hurt when he did.
I don't even know who Eric LeGrand is but he's a hero in my book for his recovery
I liked Brandon Roy... I used to play the old 2K games and I would add him and Greg Oden to my team for cheap. We destroyed everything, very much different from their real life careers. 😰
Who else came for Corey Graves?
Me I guess
How did you forget Inky Johnson ????
Where is Jay Williams motorcycle accident when he was with the Bulls?
Lattimore was an amazing prospect in college
If he hadn't skipped his final year in college do you think it would have played out differently?
I am still waiting for Culpeper to come back!
Eric LaGrand got a WWE Warrior recipient Award at the WWE Hall Of Fame 2017
Good list! I would have added Greg Oden as well. If he didn't have so many knee injuries he would have been great. Not saying he would have been better than Kevin Durant drafted right after him, but we'll never know.
forgot Greg oden. He broke his foot in HS, and it never healed properly, causing one of his legs to be shorter than the other. That would lead to his many Injuries in the NBA
Cory Graves In The Thumbnail
Borland made the right decision for him
We need to lower the amount of protection so people won’t play so damn rough
Good point.
There's a big reason rugby has significantly fewer injuries than football. It's really hard to use your head as a weapon if you're going to come out worse for wear. I completely agree with you.
Poor guys
the concusion will get them sooner or later .big price for short fame.
@Grunge: This video could have 5 parts.
Why didn’t the video show any of the injuries?!
Corey Graves is a saint.
Marcus lattimore is so sad man dude was amazing
I be careful when I play basketball
The title doesn’t have anything to do with the video.
The video should be called...
“Athletes who quit before getting injured”
They all got injured that's why they retired fucking idiot
I still think there's an underground "enforcer" market in most contact sports, where coaches pay teams with less chance of winning playoffs to "incapacitate" star players of rival teams...
Lol no
Vladimir Konstantinov? Have you not read about him? Really tragic story that I thought would make the list, but I guess all hockey players have to be tough.
So fucking sad.
I remember hearing that announcement like it was yesterday.
*American athletes
Caulpepper had tiny hands
Never heard of any of these people. The title should say, American athletes who were permanently.
Herb Score? Francisco Liriano?
We're in the fake, plastic, age. Real men and real athletes don't count because they aren't "cool" enough and they liked women and used the men's restroom
@Joshua Hickey sorry, but when he came up he was basically un-hittable. Then he had Tommy John surgery and he hasn't even been close to the same.
How is Sean Taylor not on this list??
The video is about athletes who got career ending injuries really young
Sean Taylor was killed
I’d call that permanent wouldn’t you?
He wasnt injured in his sport... he was murdered at home idiot.
If you can redirect me to where it stats this is a list of athletes that were permanently injured playing their sport this would make sense...
@@DEVOSDEVOS1 Every athlete named was permanently injured while playing their sport its common sense. 😒
Death isnt an injury.
Have you ever heard of inky Johnson
For all those who think wrestling is fake, REALITY CHECK! Many pro wrestlers have serious injuries that are permanent. Whether it's concussion, paralysis or are one step away from horrible life changing circumstances. There's a lot of pro wrestlers who you didn't put on the list. Anyone else remember when D'Lo Brown botched and put Draz in a wheelchair permanently, Tyson Kidd (Natalia's husband) was injured really badly and was lucky he didn't end up paralyzed. A lot of pro wrestlers end up dying young due to brain injuries that show up much later on. Some of them have even died in the ring or after a match.( I know Owen Harts accident killed him but this isn't what I am referring to RIP Owen) but a few others have died due to injuries or one match a while back,( not too long ago) the guy died in the ring during a tag team match ( not WWE).Plus there are certain wrestlers who are botchers regularly and a lot of wrestling companies don't care who they hire (NEW JACK anyone? He's super dangerous and doesn't care about the safety of others,almost killed a young man during a match,yet still gets regular work) I could keep talking about this topic for a really long time but everything else I say is proof that wrestling is NOT fake.
So sad
Patrick Maccaw ?
How is boxer Paul Williams not on this list?
travis roy! he got paralyzed in his first college game.
Where’s inky johnson
😭😭😭😭😭😭
Where’s inky Johnson
GREG COOK, the Greatest QB to get injured. How many Super Bowls would he have won, a HOF'er to be sure!!!!
Liver Slap - Greg Cook would have been one of the best QB's in NFL history. Unfortunately, he didn't have access to today's medical advancements in shoulder surgery. Heard of Drew Brees?
@@lawrencehamm1478 Exactly
If my memory serves me correctly, Greg Cook was the leading passer in the last year (1969) of the original AFL --- AS A ROOKIE. What a shame. As fans, we certainly missed out.
@@lawrencehamm1478 we did. Led the league in yards per attempt and passer rating as a rookie. Looked like the Marlboro man, he had a rocket launcher arm and could drop a pass on a dime. I've heard him described as a bigger, stronger version of Steve Young with a much more powerful arm. How rare is that?
I remember hearing that he could throw the ball from goal line to goal line. How many people could ever do that? Not many at all.
being a big sport fans this gentlemem should not leave the sport coaching_manager etc they should stick around in someway except disable
Paul Williams
Ickey Woods?
Inky Johnson should have been on her
i am here because of corey graves
Ryan shazier
Portland was stupid for drafting Brandon roy. Because they knew before they drafted him that he only had like 5 years on his knees. He was great for them but they could never build around him in only 5 years
Danny Granger
I came for Corey Graves
Inky Johnson
Johnny Knox
Pat white
Don’t feel bad for these nfl guys.
Ronald Tartaglia I will.
Michael Redd
Bo Jackson?
Me
Ryan shaizer
Johnny knox
49ers......
If they never made it big, how do you know they were going to reach that level?
Actually, instead of responding please give me the lottery numbers for the next draw
Derrick rose
No Kevin Ware from Louisville 👎🏽
Not a bad video but total knee replacements allow you to return to every day daily living activities cycling hiking etc. you got it wrong on that one
LSK
As a wrestling fan, I prefer Corey Graves on commentary but he retired to soon
Fist!👊
Brandon Roy was a DOG
First off, they chose this. Secondly, it's ridiculous sports people get paid what they do. Someone out working, making a difference in the world, gets shit. Yet, let's toss around a football or baseball and make millions. It's just ridiculous. Just shows where people's priorities are. Try normal life for a change
Corey isn't popular nor some what making it big. He's barely an announcer.
I love WWE
#10 doesnt even qualify for the list.
Haha, cripples.
Wrestlers aren't athletes they are actors who train hard for a role. If you put wrestlers in these categories you need to add Hollywood actors as they are one of the same.
So dude made 2.5 mill in 4 years and didn’t even have to play? Lmao nice
Corey Graves sucked tho
I hated Cory Graves. Still do.
@@MyJbryant then he did his job right as a heel
@@Wesley-ph9uy
"Then he did his job right as a heel." Shut up. I meant as a person. I hate the creepy looking bastard. He's a waste of life.
Jason Bryant it’s funny because he’s accomplished more in his short life than you ever will in your sad long one 😂😂
@@SuperSupaman99
How do you know exactly what all I've accomplished in my life? Who the fuck are you, period? Lol. I'll wait...
Corey graves is a bum! 💀
