"The first time I took a shower, all the emotions came out. I was crying, doubting myself, but I had someone beside me to tell me that everything's gonna be okay," said Davies. "I was praying it wasn't anything serious, but when I got out of the MRI, they told me it was an ACL and meniscus; my whole energy went out of my body, all the confidence I had just escaped.
"I remember the first couple of weeks, between six and eight weeks, I wasn't able to walk. I had to be on crutches...When you're up there working out, and you see all your friends, having fun playing football, and sometimes you think to yourself, 'I wish I was out there.' It's like when your mom says you can't go outside and then you see all your friends running around outside, that's basically how I felt at that moment."
