A 2007 study conducted by the University of North Carolina's Center for the Study of Retired Athletes found that of the 595 retired N.F.L. players who recalled sustaining three or more concussions on the football field, 20.2 percent said they had been found to have depression. That is three times the rate of players who have not sustained concussions.
This paragraph shows that a concussion can cause depression when your retired. It also shows the percentage of NFL players with the depression state of life.
This answers one of my questions, " Can a concussion ruin your football career"?
