“Boone, who was not wearing a seatbelt, played the 2015 season for the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes but has not played football since. Thompson, who was wearing his seat belt, was not injured and continues to play outside linebacker for the Panthers.”

Lesson here? Always wear your seatbelt.

That detail might work against Boone in court.

Sorry to hear that about Boone....I still remember his nearly 500 yards passing against Texas A&M in the Chick Fil-A Bowl. Yeah, he threw a bad interception late, but he was overall outstanding in that game.....in some way, the best moment for Duke football.....well, there's always 41-0 of course....

This is almost certainly an insurance suit. While Thompson may be the nominal defendant, the real goal is likely to have his insurance company pay.
