There has to be a spectrum of susceptibility. We're discussing football, but the sport with the most repetitive head trauma is boxing. The worst damage inflicted is in the Heavyweight class (simple physics). Everyone mentions Ali and his serious mental/neurologic problems, but many championship heavyweights (Foreman, Frazier, the Klitschkos, Lennox Lewis, etc) seem to be absolutely fine. Lewis and the Klitschkos are even known as being pretty intelligent. On the other hand, several times a year a boxer will end up brain-dead after taking a bad shot in a match. I enjoyed boxing and Muay Thai when I was much younger and think both sports are great for fitness, but I never had any desire to compete due to the concerns about taking one too many shots.- Jevan Snead story
One major difference between football and rugby is that giving up a a few yards (or meters, for pedants) when making a tackle in a rugby match is no big deal. In football, you can't afford to give up any yardage when making contact due to the downs system. Thus, hard collisions to stop the ball carrier are basically necessary (otherwise it'll be very difficult to prevent the other team getting a first down and retaining possession of the ball). In rugby, that's not the case and so there's no need to have a major impact when making a tackle. I played both Union and League (years ago) at 6'2' and around 205. I was the guy designated to stop the other team's ball carrier in penalty situations (where I'd basically be standing motionless and the guy would be coming at me with the ball and a running start). I learned very quickly not to meet him head-on. Instead, I would wrap up as he would pass next to me and then ride him down over 3-4 yards (utilizing weight shifts as in judo). Neither one of us would get hurt this way. In football, though, you can't afford to surrender the YAC. So violent collisions (with or without direct head contact) are essentially mandatory.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2020

13-23 for 168 yards and 3 INTs in that final game in the Cotton Bowl certainly didn't suggest a pro future. There were rumors at the time that he had some serious interpersonal issues relating to his former GF at Ole Miss that may've led him to declare for the draft early.- Jimbo 2020: Strangers with Candi
