Is it odd that his ACL tore simply while running? That would concern me.

It happened right when he was planting and no, its not that odd.
Todays athletes are bigger, faster and stronger than ever before. They move faster at a higher weight than what they used to 30 years ago. Thsi creates quite a big force on joints and tendons and they might snap just like what happened here.

We had a promising RB tear his ACL untouched during a walk-thru several years ago.

Can't remember his name but he was a big and fast UDFA I think. Kinda reminded me of Natrone Means.

Lynell Hamilton by any chance?

Played really well late in 2009 superbowl run and in preseason, then tore his ACL and was never heard from again.
