FORT COLLINS, Colo. - A 4-year-old boy tackled by a college football player as he played along the sidelines during a game has 30 stitches in his head, but he's recovering well, his father said Tuesday.
It was the spring youth football festival at Colorado State on Saturday, and Caden Thomas was wandering along the sidelines with his father during the team's intrasquad game. Caden was near the end zone when wide receiver George Hill, trying to catch a touchdown pass, crashed into him.
"Well, there's the sickening thud," Caden's father, Michael Thomas, said Tuesday. "I was just tremendously worried about the rest of his life. You make automatic assumptions there will be some damage when you see something that horrific."
The team's trainer and doctor rushed in to help Caden as his father held him and Hill waited nearby, worried about the little boy. Caden was bleeding from a deep cut on his head, but he was conscious, and his neurological exams were normal.
"He was saying he wanted to go home," Thomas said. "I think he had a pretty good idea that this was going to require a trip to the hospital, and he was none too excited about that prospect."
"To see he bounced back so quickly was really a blessing," he said.
A plastic surgeon stitched up the little boy's head at the hospital and sent him home.
The next day, Caden got a call from Colorado coach Sonny Lubick. He also got a football signed by the team, Thomas said. Caden himself talked a little bit about what happened.
"It was kind of scary 'cause I got bonked by the football," the boy said, hugging his own football. "It kind of hurted."

I have to admit I was surprised the player didn't just jump up & do that stupid dance they do & ignore the kid. He obviously tried hard to put his arm in the way of the impact & shield the little guy. I hope he doesn't take it too hard.
The parents should know better, the people in charge of the stadium should know better. Hopefully...lesson learned.

it was not a touchdown, the ball was caught out of bounds. you could see the ref waving it off.

Ya beat me to it!!! I noticed he landed out of bounds... (then i noticed the kid get laid out...) I guess I need to work on my priorities... :aok

If the reciever had stretched out and drug his feet instead of trying to gut catch the ball, it woulda been 6 points.

My point is I think the receiver put the child in the front of his mind. He stuck his arm out & attempted to keep from hitting the kid full on which is what he would have done had he concentrated on the TD. He probably would have seriously injured the little tike had he not diverted his attention from scoring.
(but no I never looked at the ref., just the receiver & the kid)

Kudos to the player.
Biotch slap to the father and other idiots that thought it was ok to have little kids along the sidelines during a game.
The kid didnt belong there.

OMG ~ that was awful!

C'mon dred. Like your father never put you in a slightly or more dangerous situation as a kid. Or you never put your kids in a similar situation.
Had this not happened, the kid would have been talking about his time spent on the endzone during a college game for years. And he would have loved it.

My father didn't, and I won't do it to my 5 year old son.
I agree Dred <>

My dad never did anything remotely dangerous with me. If anything he was overly cautious because I was the only boy in a passle of girls.
Maybe if you had ten or twelve of them you'd be less likely to try to keep them safe?

You guys must have had boring childhoods then.
-
I didn't, only when I was with my parents which was only like 10% of my day lol

This is far from the truth. However, IF my old man would have taken me to the sidelines of a football game in my youth, he'd have been in between the field and myself.

did you're father dangle you in front of alligators? or make you run onto a football field when a game is going on? I wouldn't say people had boring parents, i'd say they had safe or cautious parents.
