When was the last time you saw a QB get seriously hurt on a sneak?

I've been watching college and NFL football for 22 years and off the top of my head can't remember a single significant injury on the play. It's a phantom fear.

Tom Savage earlier this year jumps to mind. But I agree that it's an irrational fear.

Matt Schaub broke his foot on a QB sneak a few years back. I think it was a Lisfranc fracture.

Only one I can remember is Colt McCoy in 06 against Kansas State, but I completely agree it's a phantom fear. I just think that's why some teams don't use it.

Biggest thing is most defenders hitting you aren't coming in with a head of steam. It's all just push at the line so the QB is less likely to get blasted.
