Quote:How do you know that I haven't had a concussion before? I certainly have. And while I didn't play football in college, I did play middle linebacker, sam linebacker, and strong safety in high school. I also have coached wrestling for 7 years. I am also a nationally/state registered EMT. I am far from ignorant on concussions.


This guy, self-admittedly, said he considered only playing 1 season in the NFL even before he was drafted. He told most of his family as much. He never told that to the team who would be drafting him or anybody else. That is very cowardice and selfish behavior. He can do whatever he wants and try to justify it however he wants - I don't care. The unfiltered truth is that he quit football because he was afraid of a future injury that hasn't happened. There is no denying that. Let's be clear, this wasn't a retirement - it was him quitting.
