With the amount of injuries that occur in the NFL I want to say that there is no correlation at all, but I can’t help but believe the hype and read into the evidence of Coverboy’s past.

I think it’s in the back of every players mind once they get on the cover, leading to the being over aware and nervous which results in suffering the injury on the field.
