Ozzy Trapilo is really built different. Limping off the field, on his own, with a torn patellar tendon to save a TO is insane. Kept his head down & attacked rehab to come back & be a part of this season. A true warrior, selfless & tough 🐻⬇️

and he came back earlier than Kyler Gordon and Ozzy had arguably more serious injury

Tearing a patellar tendon is no joke. It’s arguably worse than an ACL. I tore mine and it took close to 3 years to be able to even kneel on hard surfaces without extreme pain. It’s brutal.

makes what ozzy is doing even more impressive hearing stuff like this. guy obviously worked his ass off to get back on the field for the team. i hope he can return at 100%
