Former Jaguars running back slams NFL doctors, claims they 'overlooked' ...





Fans bestowed the nickname “Fragile Fred” on former Jacksonville Jaguars running back Fred Taylor (and he’s very aware of it, as you’ll see) while spending 13 very solid seasons in the NFL, thanks to a slew of injuries he suffered.



The former Jacksonville Jaguar now claims NFL doctors didn’t inform him just how bad those aforementioned injuries were. In a Twitter rant, he said league doctors “overlooked” what he suffered and that the NFL has denied him benefits.



Here’s what he wrote:

Even through all the injuries and the lingering injuries, somehow The league still manage to deny my "Line of Duty" benefit 3 times.



Fred Taylor  @FredTaylorMade

Seems the "neutral doctors" we are referred to by the league overlooked the injuries and issues I currently deal with. Nice job guys

They gave me this stupid nickname "fragile Freddy" after I had TORN my groin off the bone. Somehow it 2 was diagnosed as a minor strain



Fred Taylor  @FredTaylorMade

I didn't complain or make an excuse to the media. I kept smiling, kept my cool, fought back and finished Top 15th rusher all-time.
