NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell visited Bills tight end Kevin Everett on Thursday at a Buffalo hospital. Goodell flew from New York to Buffalo, spending 90 minutes with the injured player, who is recovering from a severe spinal cord injury. "He just wanted to go up to see him," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told the AP.
Everett has shown significant improvement after suffering the injury on Sunday. Doctors recently have express "cautious optimism" that Everett might be able to walk again.
Goodell's gesture further confirms that he "gets it," and that he genuinely cares about the men who play this game.
