07:59 AM ET 02.08 | Marcus Lattimore intends to write one of the great comeback stories before he even plays a down in the NFL. [Lattimore] is confident he'll be ready to play NFL football this fall. The former South Carolina star tailback has spent the past two months in Pensacola, Fla., rehabbing his right knee which he shredded on Oct. 27 against Tennessee. ... Yet, with each weight he lifts and every time he jogs in the pool, Lattimore knows he's getting closer to returning to the football field. ... [Lattimore said Dr. James Andrews], part of the team who performed the operation, has told him several times he's going to shock the world with his complete comeback. "That's my goal as long as I stay strong and keep progressing," Lattimore told The Associated Press by phone.

If anybody can come back from the injury faster than a doctor predicted, then it'll be this kid. He is an absolute wonder. Sad that he's not at Carolina anymore, but happy that he's going to have a bright career.

With what we've seen from other athletes lately, I wouldn't be surprised. And I hope he does too

I'd love to see who takes the shot on him. He's a special kid.

This Dr. Andrews guy seems to do every sports injury that occurs. I wonder what model Toyota he drives.
