Mack Strong – Seattle Seahawks
Strong played his entire 15-year career with the Seahawks. In 2005 he was selected to his first NFL Pro Bowl (again in 2006) and was chosen as an Associated Press All-Pro. Strong is known as one of the best blocking fullbacks in the NFL. However in the 2007 season, he suffered from a herniated disk in his neck that caused trauma to his spinal cord against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was told the injury would not lead to paralysis if he retired and after 15 seasons, Strong retired.

Penny Hardaway – Phoenix Suns
Hardaway’s first NBA seasons had him playing alongside Shaquille O’Neal with the Orlando Magic, and he certainly looked like a future Hall of Famer. He dazzled everyone on the court. He was a truly dynamic point guard with a threat for triple doubles every night. However, during the 1997-98 season, a serious left knee injury cost him, and he ended up having four more surgeries on that same knee before his career was over.
