Syracuse scored more TDs in that game than they had against a I-A opponent all season, each time telling Long something like: "That was for you, pal." When Nassib took a knee for the last time, he said: "Everyone went to Rob. It was very emotional."

What a great article

It makes me feel like a complete douchebag this season, whenever I ripped Long for being inconsistent (which I did a couple of times). I had no idea what this poor kid was going through, and I definitely feel like the world’s biggest asshole for that. What’s scary is that Long didn’t seem to know either, and I’m VERY glad his girlfriend finally convinced him to get it checked out.

Best of luck to him as he fights through this, and I really hope that he gets a chance at the NFL someday. Lord knows there are plenty of teams in the league that could use a punter of his caliber.
