clavicle, 2 partially torn labrum, one in each shoulder. I'm Appalled! I was never told this as a player. Oversight? Or BS!

He casts doubt on the "neutral" doctors he was referred to here-

Just because he now has those injuries and perhaps finished his career with them does not mean he played his entire career with them.  That would be extremrly hard, if not impossible, to believe, especially given his longevity. 

 
I still love fragile Fred.one of my favorite players - and a talented RB with a rare combination of power, speed and elusiveness. 

injuries (and not the best teams) robbed him of a HOF career.

when he was on the field he was a good fantasy baller too. 

 
Just fractured my clavicle last month. Doc told me that non-union is actually more common with that type of injury than most think. If he didn't get surgery to plate it up and he kept playing with it, seems fairly plausible that it never fully healed. I'm not even supposed to lift anything heavier than 10lbs for a 6-8 weeks.
