David Njoku<\/strong>‘s face was badly burned in the fire pit accident, but things could’ve been way worse … the Browns star says his eyes were open when the fireball burned his face, and he could’ve lost his eyesight.<\/p>\n \u201cI give all the glory to God. When it happened my eyes were open, so I saw everything and I really should\u2019ve been blinded,\u201d Njoku told reporters, adding … “Luckily I’m not, so I give all glory to God.”<\/p>\n Of course, the 27-year-old, former first-round draft pick stamped his status as one of the toughest dudes around when he played the week 4 game against the Ravens just days after the incident, somehow wearing a helmet over the burned area.<\/p>\n \u201cAll the pain and suffering from training in the offseason is far worse than any of this,\u201d Njoku said.<\/p>\n The Browns lost handily to Baltimore, 28-3, but David was a bright spot, catching 6 passes for 46 yards … despite the burns.<\/p>\n Initially, Njoku didn’t reveal the injury. In fact, he walked in and out of the locker room with a mask that covered his whole face.<\/p>\n Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n Then, earlier this week, David shared a photo<\/strong> from shortly after the incident, in addition to a photo showing the burns healing, albeit slowly.<\/p>\n As for how he’s feeling now … how’s this for good news?<\/p>\n “Never felt better.”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
