That’s where I got my concussion…i was the wedge on return team… the wedge breaker and I hit each other helmet to helmet. Full speed we both went down. Last thing I remember was hopping up and he was still laying there. Neither one of hit the other on purpose…thats not how we played…it was a hard hit that our heads got in on. Neither of us lowered our heads. Shoulder to shoulder contact. Heads got in the way.
IMO that’s coincidental. It’s just that most of the better athletes start at the youth level. At my high school most of the players on the team couldn’t run around the field twice without doubling over in exhaustion. Youth football is not helping them.
