Wow. Prayers up.

WTF this kid cant catch a break.

[Nate Dogg]

Wow. That's a big blow. What in the actual fug???

[Sam Mills Fan]

I'm still confused how unexpected heart surgery is considered a "small procedure". Maybe it somehow is, but that sounds scary as hell to me, especially if you're an NFL player.

Okay, that's a little more worrisome than just a case of the flu or a virus.

Definitely hope the kid's okay

I just hope this was truly minor and doesn't impact his ability to play football. "Minor" for the average person's lifestyle and "minor" for a professional athlete aren't always one in the same.

My mom works in the heart clinic at the hospital..  She said they probably used some catheter treatment to fix it. They don't have to do actual open heart surgery that way

Heart problems are scary, glad he got treatment and hope is okay

Samuel already has a smaller frame for an NFL player considering the amount of hits he will be exposed to over an entire career. At some point if these health concerns keep piling up I fear he may have to consider if football is really worth it. It would be a damn shame. But I'd rather see him breathing than a shell of himself.
