UAZip0510 Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Domenik Hixon posted the following to his Facebook page tonight:"I tore my ACL today for the 3rd time today! I'm disappointed that I won't be playing for a bears team that has the players and coaches to WIN the Super Bowl. I thank God for letting me live my dream of playing in the NFL for 8 years plus. It has truly been FUN! #blessed #lovethisgame"Hixon's career was hampered by injuries but it didn't stop him from winning two Super Bowl rings with the New York Giants. He played for the Broncos, Giants, and Panthers and was set to play for the Bears this season before the injury today.Hixon might be best known to Zips fans for catching the deep ball from Luke Getsy to win the 2005 MAC Championship Game. He always represented our university with class while he was here and continues to show Akron support via Facebook and Twitter. He's @domenik_hixon on Twitter - if you're on there, shoot him a congratulations on an excellent career. He's the type of player I'm thrilled to have represent UA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Z Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Nice guy. Great to see that he can still be positive after such an injury-prone career. Good luck to him in his career after the NFL. NEVER gets old. Best Akron game I have attended. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it a sign from God that it's time to hang it up any time you tear your ACL three times in one day. Congrats to Hixon on his playing career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you have to admire his grittiness, playing on with a torn ACL, let alone two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
