Then, last October, one of Broad’s physical therapists urged him to attend a local wheelchair football game.
He had spent long months of grueling rehabilitation regaining use of his left arm so that he could push a wheelchair.
He wondered, What would touch football on wheels look like anyway?
In an arena crowded with rowdy spectators, Broad watched the Buffalo Bills Wheelchair Football Team bombard its way to a 13-6 win over visiting Cleveland.
He was especially enthralled by the contact — the clash of metal echoing through the arena as players collided, sending two chairs and the ball airborne from the impact.
