Running back Willis McGahee snaps his fingers. That quickly, a devastating football injury can occur. That quickly, a potentially brilliant career can be threatened. He snaps from experience.
The resilient running back will see his first game action in 19 months when he plays for the Buffalo Bills in their preseason opener against visiting Denver on Sunday night.
"I'll just be calm going into it," McGahee says, "and let it all go on the field."
That is his way, to let it all go.
That was his way when he lined up for Miami (Fla.) against Ohio State in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl with the national championship at stake. That was his way when he planted his left leg on a fourth-quarter pass play and looked to break off a big gainer.
