Fan IQ provides this video of Orlando Predators defensive lineman Elton Patterson, and it's a video that will bring back bad memories for Arizona Cardinals fans:
Patterson suffered a torn quadriceps jumping up and down before the game started, apparently thinking said jumping would get the fans pumped up for the game. Instead, the start of the game was delayed while medical personnel attended to Patterson, who was carted off the field with a season-ending torn quadriceps.
The injury was reminiscent of the torn ACL suffered by Cardinals kicker Bill Gramatica in 2001. Gramatica jumped to celebrate a field goal, came down awkwardly and was carried off the field with a season-ending injury.
