Keith Primeau – Philadelphia Flyers
From 1990–2006, Primeau skated his way to glory. With the Flyers, Primeau scored the game-winning goal in the longest game in modern NHL playoff history (five overtime periods for a total of 152 minutes and one second) against Ron Tugnutt of the Pittsburgh Penguins. As team captain, he led the team in goals (34) and tied his career high in points (73) in 2000–01. However following many head injuries, the final blow came just nine games into the 2005–06 season, he suffered a concussion and that was the end. He was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome and retired within days.

Robert Edwards – New England Patriots
Edwards was drafted by the New England Patriots in the first round in 1998. He rushed for 1,115 yards for the Patriots in the 1998 season before a freak accident occured. Edwards blew out his knee at an NFL rookie flag football game that took place in Hawaii during Pro Bowl week. He was eerily close to having his leg amputated below the knee and was told that he might not walk again.
