Concussions - 6/6 - Former NFL Athlete Chris Borland

Chris Borland

Today, we talk to former San Francisco 49er Chris Borland.  This is a powerful podcast because Chris was a high school All-American, an All-American at the University of Wisconsin, and was about to have a stellar NFL career.  However, after the first season in the NFL, Chris decided to retire from football.

Speaking with him, he mentions how he did get some slack, but there were a lot of people supporting him as well.  I had to ask the question that he got thousands of times, "Why?", and his response was with utter class.

He is one of the most intelligent, well-spoken athletes I've ever met and it was a true honor to have him on the podcast discussing his career and the subtleties of his decision.
​
Thank you, Chris.
