STrib: Chris Autman-Bell cherishes Gophers career, despite the hardships

Per Randy:

Autman-Bell plans on training for the NFL draft at season's end, but first, he'll savor one last game in Minnesota.

"I've had a lot of challenges, a lot of ups and downs," he said. "… But at the end of the day, I'm grateful because it can always be worse than what it is. I'm alive. I'm healthy now. I can look forward. I've got a better perspective on life now."

Was really hoping he'd have a great season this year. Terrible what injuries did to his career. He's still behind Dajon McKnight in TDs on the all time list.

Football is a brutal, beautiful game. I remember in fall of 2019, watching CRAB make huge plays behind TJ and Bateman, thinking we had another star in the making. To be sitting here almost four years later, looking back at his string of unfortunate injuries + a final disappointing year like this, I feel for the kid.

Thanks for your dedication and hard work here CrAB! It was an honor to watch you perform and enjoyed your many big plays. Best of luck in your next chapter of life, but please before you go kick the sh!t out of Becky one last time!
