Tedy Bruschi
Sporting News, The, Dec 2, 2005
Tedy Bruschi had established his championship mettle as the defensive heart and soul of the Patriots, but 10 days after winning his third Super Bowl ring he was hospitalized with numbness, blurred vision and headaches. He had suffered a stroke; barely able to walk and see, his NFL future was very much in doubt. He later underwent surgery to repair a hole in his heart. But his condition gradually improved, and he began to work out with the hope of rejoining the team. After being cleared to play by an army of doctors, he returned in an emotional Week 8 win against the Bills. Before long, he was knocking down passes, leaping over blockers and crunching ballcarriers. Bruschi is back, fiery as ever.
