Or was it chopped off by a fan blade? Conceivably it was that time he accomplished beneath the backyard mower on an autumn Saturday afternoon afore he started application that day of the anniversary to corruption opposing Big Ten defenses.
Ask the Wisconsin Badgers' brilliant apprenticed end what happened to his larboard basis feel and you ability get a altered acknowledgment every time.
"Every already in a while," Fumagalli says, "if my accompany are there, and addition asks me, I'll say, 'Oh, I got bit by a shark.' "
It's all in fun for Fumagalli, who -- if accuracy be told -- absent the feel from a bearing birthmark that affected an amputation the day afterwards he was born. He's actual adequate in his own skin, discussing advisedly article that to him has been a non-issue for a continued time.
He's got a football resume -- including a 2016 Bolt of the Year appointee in aftermost season's Cotton Bowl -- that should abolish all agnosticism from anybody else's mind.
But actuality he is, seven months afore the 2018 NFL Draft, and questions about the activity of his larboard duke appear in a nit-picky NFL aloof apple that has never afore apparent this -- a amateur arena a position that logically you ability anticipate would crave the use of all bristles digits on his ascendant hand.
"I haven't been in there (Madison) yet," says a administrator of aloof for an NFC team, "but it's a bearings that will still charge to be scrutinized."
The moment had accustomed too soon. A ages early, to be exact. Carrying her third adolescent in utero, Char Fumagalli's baptize aback burst.
Doug Fumagalli, admiral of the bounded adolescence football alliance who played advanced receiver at Holy Cross in the mid-'70s, was active the two-minute breach to perfection, throwing the family's weekend affairs out the window en avenue to the hospital abreast their home in Naperville, Ill.
Having accustomed bearing alert before, six and eight years beforehand to boys, Char knew the assignment well. But this one was different, from alpha to finish.
She knew she was activity to acquire a beefy boy from antecedent visits to her obstetrician, and who knows how abundant bigger Troy would acquire been had his mother gone abounding appellation with him. As it was, he came out 7 pounds, 5 ounces with a ages of advance unfelt.
It wasn't her son's size, however, that Char aboriginal noticed.
"I anticipation I saw article on him but I aloof anticipation he bare to be bankrupt up," recalled Char. "I aloof anticipation he bare to be bankrupt up and he'd be fine."
Char's bedmate wasn't so certain.
"I anticipate there's article wrong," Doug aside to Char, as the abettor took Troy out of the allowance to be bankrupt and examined.
"No, I'm abiding there's annihilation wrong," she said aback in a hopeful voice.
What Troy had was article alleged Amniotic Band Syndrome, a action that occurs aback the approaching babyish becomes circuitous in string-like amniotic bands in the womb, beheading appendages by akin claret flow, and affecting the baby's development.
With Troy, these coarse strings had captivated about all 10 digits on his hands, but alone the larboard basis feel had become necrotic. Babies with ABS can lose assorted fingers and toes, alike absolute limbs, the pediatrician explained. Troy's affair was apprenticed to aloof one feel and the blow of the impacted digits all had awareness aback pinched.
"We went from activity acutely sad to acutely advantageous all aural seconds," said Char, who believes her youngest son could acquire absent all of his fingers had he spent added time in her womb. "When they put aggregate in angle you realize, 'You apperceive what, if it's aloof a feel we lose, it's not the end of the world. We'll accomplish the best of it; this will be okay."
Doug, on the added hand, was not demography the one-moment-at-a-time access his wife was. The basis feel on what would about-face out to be Troy's ascendant duke would be amputated the abutting day, appropriate bottomward to the knuckle, and Doug's thoughts fast-forwarded years bottomward the line.

How would others amusement him? Would he get teased in school? Would he be the aftermost best for his team? Would he be able to comedy the action that had acceptable Doug and his two beforehand sons, Drew and Ross, academy scholarships?
"Would he," Doug asked himself, "be beheld as different?"
A alternation of surgeries to abolish the bands on the blow of Troy's fingers followed in the year afterwards the antecedent amputation; scars from those procedures are present today.
But affecting scarring from all the things Doug had feared acquire been, for the best part, absent. The ancestors advised the missing feel as accustomed -- 6-year-old Ross alike took his babyish brother to kindergarten for show-and-tell -- and Troy followed suit.
In fact, best bodies hardly notice. Aloft Badgers drillmaster Gary Andersen went several weeks into his aboriginal bounce affected in Madison afore seeing the basis feel on Fumagalli's larboard cuff aerial in the wind. Current Badgers arch drillmaster Paul Chryst, absent a ages into his aboriginal bounce camp, had it acicular out to him by one of his assistants.
For others -- alike those abutting to Fumagalli -- it took alike longer.
"It had to be a brace of months into our freshmen year," said Badgers assurance Joe Ferguson, one of Fumagalli's best accompany on the team. "I was affectionate of air-conditioned out at first. He explained he was built-in like that. As time went by I watched how he did things -- how he would write, how he would do things. It's funny how he credibility at things; he credibility with his boilerplate finger.
"We've approved to get him to allocution about it, but he's fabricated it not a big deal. It doesn't bother him at all and that's the attitude he takes. He tries to appearance added bodies that's the attitude they should take, too. I anticipate he abstruse from a adolescent age not to acquire to what anyone abroad said about it, and didn't let it arrest him. That's why I anticipate he's been so successful."
As a awkward bullpen on the Waubonsie Valley Aerial Academy baseball aggregation in burghal Chicago, Fumagalli absorbed the brawl with his boilerplate and arena fingers and counterbalanced it with his thumb. He was able to get abandoned movement on the brawl that hitters had agitation tracking.
He was a accepted academy anticipation in the sport, which partly explains why big-time football programs weren't animadversion his aperture bottomward with scholarship offers. He absent some recruiting opportunities in football, including Wisconsin's Inferior Day, because of baseball commitments.
His focus in aerial academy was on the annular brawl -- he anticipation about a career in baseball generally -- until advance bowl anaplasty on his larboard bend affected him to about-face his abounding absorption to football as a junior. At 6-foot-4, acme was never an issue, but his weight hovered about 200 pounds and Big Ten recruiters had agitation apperception him bushing out that angular frame.
All the MAC schools were afterwards him, including Northern Illinois, and added babyish schools like Western Kentucky had offered him abounding rides for football. But Fumagalli's affection was set on the ability conferences, whose teams' absorption in him was apathetic at best.
It was all abstract to Fumagalli, who was all-state in baseball and football and saw contiguous how he could attempt at the accomplished akin with the brand of O.J. Howard at a aerial academy Beneath Armour amalgamate he abounding in Florida his inferior year.
"I told (recruiters at the Big Ten schools), 'You guys are authoritative a big aberration here," said Waubonsie Valley football drillmaster Paul Murphy. "He was arena two sports and was still growing. He had this babyish face and wasn't alike atom yet; he had no beard on his legs. I said, 'You guys can't activity what he's gonna attending like in a year or two from now? Aback he's in your weight program, aback he's on your aliment table, you can't activity what this kid is gonna attending like?' "
Only two Ability Bristles schools were alms any affectionate of assistance: North Carolina State put a full-ride action on the table and Wisconsin was alms a grayshirt befalling (delayed academy entry, one year as a walk-on, three on scholarship). At the time, the Badgers had 10 apprenticed ends on their agenda and had acclimated their aftermost TE scholarship on T.J. Watt, who eventually would about-face to alfresco linebacker, a position he now plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Wolfpack drillmaster Dave Doeren, a aloft Badgers assistant, recruited Fumagalli adamantine as the arch drillmaster at Northern Illinois, and aback he got the N.C. State job in backward 2012, he offered Fumagalli a abounding ride, with the admonition that the ancestors get aback to him with an acknowledgment in seven canicule or the action would be absent and void.
By all accounts, it was a arduous accommodation for Fumagalli, who had collapsed in adulation with the Wisconsin campus on a appointment to Madison with his mother. In the end, there wasn't abundant of a accommodation to be fabricated because six canicule in, the action from N.C. State was pulled off the table.
Paul Fumagalli says Troy had aloof switched corpuscle phones and Doeren was clumsy to ability him. Murphy claims Fumagalli had abreast the Wisconsin apprenticeship agents he was activity to acquire Doeren's offer, but says aback it was pulled, he alone got on the buzz with Drillmaster Andersen and asked if the grayshirt accord was still accessible at Wisconsin. Andersen, whose son Chasen was activity through a agnate recruiting affliction at the time, said the action was still valid.
"I anon alleged Troy and said, 'Get your base up to Wisconsin and acquire a hell of a career," Murphy said.
In the aback of his mind, Murphy wonders how much, if anything, Fumagalli's missing feel had to do with the ablaze application of his brilliant player. Schools already saw a kid who they weren't abiding would anytime be able to ample out his frame. And now they could never be abiding his ascendant duke wouldn't become an affair at the abutting akin either, alike admitting it was never one in aerial school.

"Nobody evidently anytime said that to me but aback you attending aback at it, probably," Murphy said. "How can this kid comedy football with nine fingers, you know? Aback bodies are short-sighting added bodies because of a perceived disability, abashment on them."
Dressed in Badgers football swag, Fumagalli, 22, sits airy in a covering armchair in one of the Wisconsin football offices overlooking Affected Randall Stadium. He's assuming off some old war wounds on his appropriate duke -- a ample smile-shaped blister on the behind from an abrasion that appropriate 30 stitches afterwards he was stepped on by a teammate's cleats, and a burst deride that appropriate surgery.
The accountable turns to The Catch, the one that helped acquire him Cotton Bowl MVP ceremoniousness aftermost January. He's apparent it "20 times or so" because he says admirers are consistently sending it to him on amusing media, and readily admits, "I don't apperceive how I bent it."
The Bolt is absolutely arresting for several reasons. First, it came in a clamp moment on third down. Second, he was actuality captivated on the comedy by a Western Michigan defender. Third, his 6-foot-6, 248-pound anatomy was outstretched, continued about accumbent with the ground. Lastly, he hauled it in with one duke -- his larboard duke with the missing feel -- accepting it with aloof his three fingers and thumb.
To his teammates and coaches, however, it was business as usual. Ferguson, who faces Fumagalli in convenance every day, accepted it was "a abundant catch, alike by Troy's standards," but at the aforementioned moment, "I was like, he does that to us in convenance all the time."
"You adulation it in the moment and acknowledge it. I mean, that was on third down, all those are big," added Chryst. "But there's annihilation that says, 'I can't accept he did that.' Maybe that's not fair to him, but it's the truth."
Not fair, maybe, but one of the accomplished adulation you can pay one of your players. And Chryst knows a affair or two about apprenticed ends. A aloft apprenticed end himself, he's developed bristles of them into aristocratic affairs and advantageous NFL players, including Owen Daniels (Round 4, 2006), Travis Beckum (Round 3, 2009), Garrett Graham (Round 4, 2010) and Lance Kendricks (Round 2, 2011) at Wisconsin, and Tim Euhus (Round 4, 2004) at Oregon State.
And how does Fumagalli compare?
"Fum's putting himself in that conversation," Chryst said. "He's a absolutely acceptable one. Is he the best? Would never say it yet because he's got added time larboard here. I anticipate he's able of actuality special."
Immediately afterward his Cotton Bowl achievement -- on a ancestors vacation at the Marriott Harbor Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale -- Fumagalli advised abrogation academy aboriginal and entering the draft, but in his heart, he knew he wasn't ready. He hadn't asked for a brand from the NFL Abstract Advisory Board, but added advice he was accepting placed him on Day 3 in a abstract loaded with top apprenticed ends like Howard, David Njoku and Evan Engram.
Instead, he alternate to Madison to get "bigger, stronger, faster," as he put it; complete his amount in finance, advance and banking; and attempt for a civic championship with all of his teammates who entered the affairs with him four years earlier.
He's added his bolt totals anniversary division -- from 14 as a apprentice to 28 as a green to 47 in 2016 -- and is on clip to access that cardinal afresh in 2017. He's additionally abundantly bigger his blocking -- both in the run bold and in canyon pro -- anniversary year, acceptable what Chryst refers to as a "real" apprenticed end.
This offseason, Fumagalli capital to assignment on the bookish allotment of his game, so he met consistently with arresting coordinator Jim Leonhard, a aloft walk-on assurance at Wisconsin who spent 10 years in the NFL with six altered teams. While Chryst encourages cross-over affairs amid players on one ancillary of the brawl and coaches on the other, it doesn't consistently happen. It takes appropriate accomplishment on the player's allotment to appetite it enough, and for Fumagalli, it's advantageous off.
"He's accomplishing a absolutely nice job of award the bendable atom in defenses, and acquainted pre-snap what coverages the aegis is in, alive area the anemic spots of that aegis are," said alfresco linebacker Garret Dooley, who has roomed with Fumagalli aback they were freshmen. "I anticipate in his apperception he still believes he has a lot to prove. He knows he can go out there and be the best apprenticed end in the nation."
Dr. Steven Shin is stumped. Admitting added than 20 years of analytic experience, the administrator of duke anaplasty at the Kerlan-Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles and duke adviser for about every L.A. pro sports aggregation as able-bodied as USC football, is accepting agitation advancing up with addition academy or pro sports case agnate to Fumagalli's.
In football, there acquire been players who acquire had to acclimate afterward accidents or injuries to their fingers that appropriate abounding or fractional amputations. Shin mentions Jason Pierre-Paul, the New York Giants' pass-rushing phenom who in 2014 had a Fourth of July fireworks blow that amount him his absolute appropriate basis feel and allotment of his thumb.
"Closest allegory I can anticipate of," he says.
Exactly a year afterwards JPP's fireworks accident, Buccaneers cornerback C.J. Wilson had two fingers absolute off in a agnate blow that acquired him to retire from the NFL.
Adrian Clayborn suffered from a assumption ataxia alleged Erb's Palsy that was acquired at birth. The Atlanta Falcons called the arresting end from Iowa in the aboriginal annular of the 2011 abstract admitting some bantam advance in his appropriate arm and an disability to absolutely extend it.
In 1986, Ronnie Lott abundantly chose to acquire his larboard pinkie amputated aloof aloft the aboriginal collective rather than abide reconstructive anaplasty that would acquire appropriate him to absence time on the field.

Tom Dempsey was built-in afterwards fingers on his appropriate duke and toes on his appropriate foot. He is the article whose 63-yard acreage ambition in 1970 for the Saints was an NFL almanac that stood for 43 years. His adapted shoe with a bedfast toe apparent was eventually banned by the league.
In baseball, there's bullpen Jim Abbott, the Michigan artefact who accomplished All-Star cachet in the Major Leagues admitting the absence of his right, non-throwing hand; and Mordecai Brown, who absent the basis feel on his ascendant duke in a acreage blow aback he was a boy but threw a awful action in the majors for 13 years in the aboriginal 1900s.
That's the abbreviate list. And really, none of them -- with conceivably Dempsey and Brown as the abutting -- analyze to Fumagalli, whose missing chiffre is acute to aggregate he does as a apprenticed end.
But "crucial" is a about word. Because the amputation occurred aloof 24 hours afterwards he was born, Fumagalli doesn't apperceive what he doesn't know. He has been adapting actually aback the day he was born. In his world, the alone acute fingers are the ones he owns.
"Does he apperceive how to bolt it afterwards (his basis finger)?" Chryst asks rhetorically. "That's what's air-conditioned with bodies with -- it's a about appellation -- but bodies with disabilities. He knows no added way. The ability of will ��� it assault your mind."
Fumagalli is asked if he anytime admired he had an basis feel on his larboard hand.
"Nah," he answers, "it apparently would aloof get in the way."
The nine digits Fumagalli does acquire are abundantly strong. Aside from a discharge adjoin Florida Atlantic in the Badgers' additional bold this division aback he had two drops, Fumagalli has bent aloof about aggregate befuddled his way in his four years at Wisconsin. Guaranteed, he'll acquire some of the surest easily at the amalgamate in February. And maybe some of the strongest.
Dr. Shin says he would be afraid if Fumagalli's larboard duke anchor backbone was decidedly altered from his right, admitting the missing finger. He says you would apprehend about a 25 percent grip-strength accident with an basis feel amputation in an boilerplate adult. But with addition like Fumagalli, whose amputation took abode so anon afterwards bearing and who has abstruse to atone throughout his life, the accident should be basal -- maybe 10 percent, Shin suspects. Maybe less, according to teammates who curiosity at his duke backbone on the field.
"If the quarterback puts it anywhere abreast his body, he's activity to bolt it," said Ferguson, who calls Fumagalli the best apprenticed he's played against, including Penn State's Mike Gesicki, whom some accede the nation's best. "I could cull up a actor clips of blur area (defenders) get a duke in, and somehow at the end of the comedy he still has the ball. It's funny to see the DB attending all about and put his easily in the air like he absolutely doesn't apperceive how that aloof happened. He's so able that already he gets his easily on the brawl there's no one who can get it out."
Sort of like New England Patriots all-pro apprenticed end Rob Gronkowski. Interestingly, a few Wisconsin arresting coaches paid Fumagalli the ultimate account aboriginal in abatement affected aback they instituted the Gronk Rule, cogent bend rushers like Dooley to dent him off the band on every comedy to bandy off his avenue and accommodate abetment for the aback end of the defense.
It was abundant convenance for Fumagalli, who was apprenticed to see added of this blazon of added absorption in his chief season. In the aboriginal three amateur he played (he absent Saturday's Big Ten opener with a larboard leg injury, but is accepted to comedy Saturday at Nebraska), he bent 15 passes for 236 yards and three touchdowns. The TD achievement has already surpassed the absolute from his aboriginal three seasons.
When the division is over -- about it ends for the Badgers -- Fumagalli will jump on a even and anon alpha his amalgamate training. His ancestors is currently allowance out with the business ancillary of things -- demography calls from agents, attractive into loss-of-value allowance policies, etc. -- abrogation Troy to focus on football and his studies.
Once he hits the combine, that's aback the absolute analysis will begin. You'd like to anticipate the NFL has acquired abundant to area article like a missing feel is no best factored into the blueprint aback the amateur has provided abundant band to accomplish it a non-issue.
Already, there are acceptable signs it will be.
"If he doesn't bead the ball, I can't brainstorm anyone caring," said a cadre controlling with an AFC team.
"By all break the kid has bendable easily and is added accustomed with the brawl in the air than some kids would be with 11 fingers," added a administrator of aloof for an NFC team. "If he proves he can bolt with nine, again it's not an issue."
Dr. Shin was asked what his advocacy to teams would be, based on his apprenticed ability of Fumagalli. Afterwards activity on at breadth about how important anchor backbone would be in any final assessment, he was apparent the Cotton Bowl catch, in absolute time, again in apathetic motion.
He had apparent enough.
"Rather than actuality a deficit," he said, "I would attending at his bearings as one beneath chiffre that can get injured."
