this is crazy,,,

Any number of ways, actually.  Even though they are in helmets and shorts, plenty of contact is going on, particularly with the OL/DL.  I'm guessing that it was likely a freak thing, where he might have stuck his arm out straight in a pass blocking situation.  Having one's arm locked straight out, rather than with a little bend in the elbow, allows the entire force of the load to be transferred right to the shoulder, rather than absorbed by all of the various muscle groups between the hand and the shoulder.
