NFL Players Dying More Than Normal
Publication by EssentiallySports | July 10, 2026 | Edition #469 |
Hey Folks,
Retirement is supposed to mark the end of an NFL career. But even after the final snap, years of battling on the field can lead to issues that can trouble players. If you think there isn’t enough proof of this, a recent study of former pro football players may just change your mind…
The findings paint a concerning picture of the issues that can follow football legends into their life off the field.
Is the NFL doing enough to protect players from long-term issues caused by repeated on-field collisions? |
The 49ers once had one of the most talented backfields in the league. From 1954 to 1956, quarterback Y.A. Tittle lined up with fullback Joe Perry and halfbacks Hugh McElhenny and John Henry Johnson. Tittle delivered elite QB play, Perry was a prolific runner, McElhenny added elusiveness, and Johnson brought versatility. Though they never won a championship together, all four reached the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
