As college football players navigate the complexities of their sport, concerns about concussions and long-term health implications are growing. Former players like Daniels and McCall have made tough decisions to retire from playing due to concussion-related symptoms. Experts warn that the financial incentives surrounding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals can complicate decision-making for athletes considering retirement. While some players may choose to continue playing despite risks, others prioritize their health and well-being. As one expert notes, "Don't let football use you; use football to catapult yourself to more opportunities."
