Drew Galitz had a solid outing Saturday in a 35-24 win over Texas Tech.

The Baylor punter punted three times for 122 yards, good for a 40.7 yard average with a long of 54.

But that’s not why we’re writing about a punting performance four days after the fact.

We’re writing because we found out Wednesday he did it with a busted knee.

Galitz injured his knee in pre-game warmups

ESPN 1660’s Craig Smoak reports that Galitz tore his ACL in pregame warmups and still went on to perform and perform well for his team.

Nobody will ever mistake the All-Big 12 First Team performer for not being as tough as some of his teammates who line up in the trenches.

Other impressive performance sans healthy ligaments

The performance brings to mind other great performances by athletes playing with damaged ligaments.

In 1993, Georgia running back Garrison Hearst finished third in Heisman Trophy voting during an All-American season. When he had a physical at the ensuing NFL combine, doctors discovered that he had a torn left ACL.

He had no idea he was injured and didn’t know when the injury occurred.

“I’ve never had any trouble with the knee and have no idea when it may have been hurt,” Hearst said at the time.

Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey had a successful 15-year MLB career that included winning the 2012 National League Cy Young Award. And he was born with a UCL in his pitching arm. At least Tommy John wasn’t a concern.

While most of us need functional ligaments to perform everyday tasks like walking up stairs, it appears that there are superhumans among us.

Add Galitz to that list.
