ESPN: Legend of Mitch Leidner's toughness grows

per ESPN:

Maybe he’s crazy, maybe he just possesses an unnaturally high tolerance for pain. But as long as Leidner can stand, Minnesota's quarterback isn’t just going to play in a game, he’s going to be in pads all week long getting ready for it.

“I’ve played through quite a few things, and I just figure, if I can move, I can probably practice,” Leidner said Wednesday morning. “I can usually get enough adrenaline going that it’s fine midway through anyway.

“Even with having a couple banged-up things, I feel like there’s a lot worse things going on in the world. It’s not going to stop me from playing.”

Go Gophers!!

Hope the staff finds a way to reduce the number of hits he takes. Whether it's getting Strev better prepared to play or just reducing QB runs, he can't continue to take this many hits and be expected to be out there every week
