Shep Smith asked him how he could do that and he said because he’s stronger than most men

No way he ruptured his achilles and didn’t “know it until June” - and walked around on it for 9 months.

I ruptured my achilles tendon jumping up two steps and believe me, there’s no way you can walk on it. My ankle literally just hung there uselessly - couldn’t even move a toe or move my ankle in any direction. There wasn’t a lot of pain unless I tried to stand on it - then it was excruciating pain.

There's been more rewriting of this story than that.

When this story was first posted at FR on Wednesday, the coach was suing for $500K, not $600K, and the helmet "severed" his Achilles tendon instead of tearing it.

That kid should counter sue for that man damaging his helmet.
