What in the ****?
He was a 5th round pick. He didn't make THAT MUCH money "doing rehab".
As for permanently handicapped, you have no idea. I know several former Miami players that I went to school with who have serious problems. Being "permanently handicapped" is not a binary condition where you are either in a wheelchair or else you are fine. There are a lot of levels to the permanent physical limitations that retired players have to deal with.
As for the "mental trauma", again, you have no idea. Some of the CTE stuff does not present immediately, nobody knows for certain whether Jordan Travis will have to deal with issues such as these.
I was never a fan, and I hate the SemenHoles, but I can have compassion for any player whose career is cut short by injury and/or botched recovery.
