One summer night after his sophomore year of college, Collin Saring's life changed forever. He spent two and half months in the hospital with a brain infection and was in a coma for two weeks.
When he finally came out of it, his mind had regressed to the state of a child. He needed to re-learn everything -- how to walk, how to talk, and how to go to the bathroom on his own.
Today, Collin Saring is a professional arena football quarterback for the Gulf Coast Fire. This is his story.
