Heck, Shayne Graham, good enough to make one Pro Bowl, has played for 14 teams (including return trips) in 12 years.

What’s next for an NFL player to blame for a knee injury, beach sand? (Oh wait, THAT has already happened!) There aren’t many surfaces left to try to play football on; maybe next the recommendation is to play on asphalt or concrete. (sarcasm off).
