Bferra13 Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Interesting decision to retire so soon. Cb is one of the safer positions for head injuries and there's good money to be made on practice squads and/or as a camp rat for 4 or 5 years. I'm sure he has his reasons though. Good luck Ike!

Beast Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 (edited) He can always tell his grandkids he retired from the NFL instead of he was cut. Edited August 25, 2020 by Beast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense actually. You are right my good sir. I guess I was thinking more man to man coverage not being a big deal and safeties having the big chance of head injuries. But obviously CB's go into zone and there are high speed collisions out there no matter wat in free space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played high-level corner and sustained many head injuries Pulling guards and tackles and fullbacks, coming at you 15 miles an hour to pancake you.. and you got to fly into them and take them out low.. your angles a little off and you get a helmet into a thigh the size of a tree trunk Corners and safeties smash into each other at 20 miles per hour a good amount They are corners not linebackers, and generally don't have the best form when it comes to tackling. A lot of head injuries are sustained there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are the wrecking ball on alot of pull plays Guards and fullbacks coming wide to destroy you... And you need to take them out so the backers and safety can move in for the tackle If you're not willing to take them out. They will find somebody who is 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a related note: I am also retiring. Feel free to start a new thread. I’m too polite to wait until halftime of the next Super Bowl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike most NFL players, maybe he actually received a solid education in college and has career options beyond being a camp rat. Here's hoping he has a good reason, yes.
