Roy Lee Chucky Mullins July 8, 1969 in Russellville, Alabama May 6, 1991 in Memphis, Tennessee was an American football player at Ole Miss University of Mississippi best known for the devastating football injury that left him a quadriplegic. Mullins was injured on October 28, 1989, during the Ole Miss Rebels'' Homecoming game against the Vanderbilt Commodores in Oxford. As Mullins plunged head-first into a tackle of Vandy fullback Brad Gaines after a short pass reception, the impact shattered four vertebrae in his cervical spine, immediately paralyzed him. After being airlifted to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, Mullins underwent a tracheotomy and five-hour bone graft operation to fuse the vertebrae. Mullins never regained sensation below his neck; shortly before his death, however, he was able to move a hand across his body and touch his chest.
