mississippi skinsfan Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 I did a search and didnt see this post. Also not sure if this the right forum for this. If not the mods can move it to the right one. I wish the best for the family. Ron Springs, a former Ohio State captain and Dallas Cowboy running back, was in a coma in a Dallas hospital last night because of complications from a Saturday surgery, a family friend told The Dispatch. Springs, 50, had a cyst removed from one his arms, said John Johnson, who has had close ties with the family since Springs transferred to OSU in 1976 from a junior college. Shawn Springs, Ron's son and a former OSU All-America cornerback and current NFL player, reportedly was at his father's side. Ron Springs was diagnosed with diabetes 17 years ago. In recent years he lost his right foot and two toes on his left foot because of complications. He underwent a successful kidney transplant in March. The donor was his close friend and former Cowboys teammate Everson Walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
