He for sure has mental toughness, but that is a very serious injury especially for a CB with 2 and at age 30 (hey he has the same birthday as me!)
Of the 31 players who sustained an Achilles tendon rupture, 21 (64%) returned to play in the NFL at an average of 11 months after injury. In the three seasons following their return, those 21 players saw significant decreases in games played and power ratings compared to the three seasons preceding the injury.
Furthermore, in the reviewed 21 NFL skill players who returned to play, there were significant decreases in games played per season (11.67 games per year pre-injury versus 6.17 games per year postinjury) when averaged over the three seasons before the injury and the three seasons after the injury.3 There were also decreases averaging nearly 50% in power ratings of the returning players for the three seasons after the injury compared to the three seasons before the injury. These data indicate that even in players able to return to their former level of play, the quality of play may suffer permanently.

That study is from 8 years ago Duke! lol
Suggs and Berry are going to the HOF after Achilles injury's.
Suggs has had about 40 sacks since returning from his Achilles.
You gotta come up with some current data Gamo!
Let's make it a G!
