Chris Borland linebacker for the San Francisco 49ers decided to retire Monday after one season in the NFL. Borland had an outbreak rookie season where he accumulated 107 tackles along with 14 sacks. Borland decided to retire monday because of health concerns for the rest of his life. He didn't want to have head trauma in the future like most former players have. Chris Borland decided he would rather choose his health over his football career. What would you choose? Health or Money? That seems to be the argument in question here. Borland said that after talking to many former players his decision was easy to make because he knew that in his future he wouldn't want to have problems with brain functionality. I think Borland made a good decision for himself and maybe his future family, but once again what do you think?
