Kevin isn't the only person whose life was changed by the collision in Buffalo in September 2007. As medical personnel surrounded Kevin on the field, then-Broncos player Domenik Hixon?who was playing in his first NFL game?knelt on the sideline, devastated. "I wanted him to get up. I kept saying to myself, 'Get up. Move. Just do anything,'" he says. "When that didn't happen, I began to feel very emotional because I knew it was something serious, especially when they brought the ambulance out."
Domenik says after that play, he was no longer the same player as before. "I was hesitating, not playing football the way I thought I could," he says. "I was just holding back."
He even suffered from nightmares. "The nightmares I had were of the situation turned around," Domenik says. "I was running down and running into somebody and being in Kevin's position."
Seeing Kevin's already-amazing recovery, Domenik?now a member of the New York Giants and set to play in Super Bowl XLII in Glendale, Arizona?says it's a blessing. "I think it's just God working," he says.
As Kevin progressed in physical rehabilitation, Domenik says he was able to recover as well. "When I first heard that he was walking and doing well, that just made me feel a little better," he says. "I'm just going to keep on praying for him."
Kevin has a message for Domenik, too. "Don't worry, I'm doing well. I'm glad to see you're doing better, too. I'm very happy that you made that change to a Super Bowl team," Kevin says. "You lucked up there!"
