Quit? That's worse than ESPN saying only 2 concussions. He retired.

I would still say he quit, if he had played longer I would say retired, but that is just me.

Quit, not retired, as if he doesn't deserve the word? What do you think this is, a factory? What nerve.

With Chris Borland and Jake Locker retiring, yes, retiring, we may be entering a fascinating new era where scouts will deem being white and middle-class a "character issue."

Or quitting the game of football, which as I stated earlier is fine, they made those choices after a lot of consideration I am sure.

That is what happened to Myron Rolle, but it was because he was smart.

He retired from football pretty quickly, too, didn't he? or did he never even get there at all?

3 year career but never played a game.

Most teammates indicate he was good enough to play.

It didn't help he openly wanted to be a neurosurgeon.
