He should quit. NFL gonna be too scared to draft him so what does he gain by continuing to risk serious injury? Take advantage of college and get that education.
 
College? Yea, fuck that shit. Go get a trade. RB's careers arent even promised when healthy. That plus Arkansas isnt spitting out rbs like they used to. 10 years ago, the Hawgs had 3 backs starting in the NFL. Now we have 3 that are 2nd & 3rd stringers. Our current wack ass coach runs his backs to the ground. Dont do that to yourself any longer with that injury.

Hang it up, get that education. The NFL don't pay RB's like that anymore. And he can still be involved with FB somehow if he wants to be...

 
Get an education.

Yeah it's an amazing experience being an NFL player, but when you're 33 sitting alone in the dark room in your house trying to remember what you were thinking about 4 seconds and nobody gives a flying fuck you played 3 years in the NFL 9 years ago, whatever money you have left might not be worth it.

The hit that caused Arkansas running back Rawleigh Williams III to be carted off the field during the spring game more than a week ago has now caused him to stop playing football.

Williams, who ranked second among SEC running backs in total rushing yards in 2016, said as much in a message posted to the school website Monday.

Williams said he did not want to risk further injury, as the hit in the April 29 spring game reminded him of the October 2015 injury that caused him to have surgery to fuse a ruptured disc in the upper part of his back.

"I've seen the replay," he said of the spring-game injury, which the Arkansas medical staff described as a "stinger."

"I saw a normal hit. That scared me. It shows me it doesn't take a big hit at this point. Any little thing can trigger it. I also saw the reaction of my mom and my sister. That broke my heart. I can't do this anymore. I want to be able to walk."

Williams as a sophomore in 2016 rushed for 1,360 yards and 12 touchdowns on 245 carries. His rushing total ranked second among SEC running backs to LSU's Derrius Guice (1,387).

Only thing is if he's on scholarship then if he quits the team that scholarship is gone

He's one of those kids that don't really need a scholarship though. He comes from a upper middle-class upbringing. I'm pretty sure his dad is a detective in Dallas.
