The only dude I can think of in recent memory who has had anything like this who was a "name" player was Tedy Bruschi with the stroke, but on-field incidents, I'm drawing a blank...

I don't recall Mike Utley being a 3rd stringer...and who was that guy back in the day that got hit by a raider's defender...my memory isn't working well tonight. I thought he was a big name too.
