San Francisco 49ers linebacker Chris Borland walked away from the NFL at the age of 24 for fear of head injuries, despite not having a diagnosed concussion for a decade.
just further proof what whores the media are...Borland was never diagnosed with a concussion but had major injuries (shoulders/others) at Wisconsin that NFL teams were concerned about...and, oh yeh, the prior weeks before Borland’s announcement two Wisconsin Badger seniors he player with, and guys that would’ve been late round picks, also retired...
True, I think the average time they play in the NFL is much lower than many would think. Especially on the OL and DL.
