Alabama had 2 guys that would have been 1st round picks as WRs and still could be, tear their ACL's.
It's just crazy how ACLs tear so easily. 1 misstep, and boom, gone.

On the one hand players in general have gotten bigger and faster over time, certainly faster than human evolution can adapt.
On the other, stats suggest that the injury level has been pretty steady for the last few years, and that's likely as a result of rule changes, the CBA (reducing player exposure to risk in team activities) and better treatments available. While it's mainly from player union pressure, the NFL does seem to be adapting to the need to keep players healthy. I'd suspect with more guaranteed salaries coming in that will improve.
