The David Pollack situation is really a sad story. His rookie season was filled with frustration early, but ended with tons of promise. He held out during training camp and struggled to adapt from defensive end to outside linebacker. He finally got to start regularly late in 2005 and really started to shine. He started training camp this season with a hamstring injury and slowly recovered. Then as the season just started into the second game, he breaks his neck and now it's 50/50 on whether he'll play another down.
ESPN showed the process last week during NFL Countdown.
David Pollack and his family will find out if he'll play football ever again on December 13th.
