Brett Favre FRIGHTENS the NFL community with a shocking revelation on number of Concussions he suffered in his career

Brett Favre

Brett Favre is an NFL legend who holds the record for having the most consecutive starts from 1992 to 2010. The QB played 321 consecutive games including 297 regular season games. While playing these many games at the top level there are bound to be some injuries.

In a conversation on the Bubba Army radio show this week he disclosed that he suffered from ‘thousands’ of concussions in his playing career. These can have long-lasting effects on your mental capacity.

“Concussions happen all the time,” Favre said. “You get tackled and your head hits the turf, you see flashes of light or ringing in your ears but you’re able to play — that’s a concussion.”

Brett Favre also said that if he was asked this a few years ago he would have said three, but now after researching so much about this topic he thinks that his number is in the thousands.

“So, based on that, I’ve suffered thousands,” he continued. “Had to be, because every time my head hit the turf, there was ringing or stars going, flash bulbs … but I was still able to play.”

The former Packers QB was a legend in his time and won three MVPs and a Super Bowl. Favre lasted 20 seasons in the NFL and on average he suffered around 50 concussions every year.

“That’s what’s kind of frightening about the concussion thing,” Favre said. “It’s the ones that seem minor that do the damage, because you’re able to play and keep going, and still today, there’s probably guys that have them, and they’re like ‘I’m not going out.'”

There weren’t many regulations regarding the safety of the players during that time. Many players were allowed to continue playing after suffering from a huge concussion. This can severely damage your brain.

The former Falcons QB now spreads awareness for concussions and is a strong believer in keeping kids away from tackles in football until they turn 14 as to not damage their young and volatile brains.
