A friend's husband played football from Pop Warner through college. As sad as he was when his playing days ended, he said that even at 22, his body couldn't take it any more. Imagine how much worse the pounding is in the NFL. + The Big Guy, mike carey and thomas 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike carey Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Yes, @BSR, those of us who haven't played, much less at that level, have only a passing idea of the stresses and strains they face. In the far less collision-based AFL there are players who retire in their twenties with ankle, knee and shoulder injuries from which they have been unable to recover sufficiently. In recent years recurring concussion injuries are taking their toll. Rugby and rugby league players face greater pressure from the higher number of collisions, and the NFL I can only image more so. Anyone who continues to play into their thirties is doing well. + The Big Guy and + FrankR 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
