In the matter of a few seconds a strong promising young Buffalo Bills player lay paralyzed and very mortal after a violent collision on the second-half kickoff return during the opening weekend of the 2007 NFL season. Kevin Everett tight end and special team s player went helmet-to-helmet with Denver Broncos return man Domenik Hixon with all the force a 6 4 260-pound 25-year-old can muster while running full-bore. Fate was on Kevin s side. Only a few days prior the medical-training staff had practiced a spinal-cord drill supervised by Dr. Andrew Cappuccino an orthopedic surgeon. Dr Cappuccino was on the sidelines during this game as a regular member of the Buffalo Bills medical staff one of the few NFL reams to be so staffed. Cappuccino determined that Everett was quadriplegic as he lay on the field of Ralph Wilson Stadium. And so began a real-life drill. While controversial and affressive medical care Kevin began a tougher challenge than any Sunday-football warrior.
