Summary

Tommie Frazier has a great story to tell. Frazier was and is an extremely gifted athlete destined for stardom. While quarterbacking the Nebraska Huskers, he won two National Championships, but not without misfortune. In the 1994-1995 season, blood clots were discovered in Tommie's leg. They slowed him down for a number of games, and would eventually keep him out of the NFL Draft.
