Social media reacts as former UGA RB suffers torn Achilles
Former University of Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell will likely miss the 2019 NFL season after suffering a torn Achilles tendon during a workout with the Oakland Raiders Tuesday.
A highly-touted recruit from Columbus, Ga., Crowell led Georgia with 850 yards rushing as a freshman in 2011 but was eventually dismissed from the team in 2012. He finished his college career at Alabama State and has 3,803 yards rushing and 27 touchdowns in five NFL seasons with the Browns and Jets.
Here’s a sampling of what’s being said about Crowell on social media:

Feel terrible for Crowell, a player I have always liked. Brutal blow. Fantasy impact is that Josh Jacobs, already slated for a big role, is an easy top 20 RB with RB1 potential. He'll be a true three down back. https://t.co/HXKIbe6MTn

Oh dear. Terrible for Crowell, who's only 26. First-round pick Josh Jacobs that much more important now. Jalen Richard and Chris Warren have to step up, too. https://t.co/Su1rr1JGh9
