"I'm sure there have been guys who didn't realize they had a concussion and just kept playing. It's a violent game. The head injuries are the most dangerous to play with. We're trained to play no matter what. If you can run, and you're able to focus and know your responsibilities, you're usually out there playing. You wouldn't have enough players if no one played hurt. Especially if you're, like, on special teams, you're going to do everything you can to stay in the game." - Kansas City Chiefs safety Mike Brown.

You can't fear one injury more than another." - Oakland Raiders linebacker Isaiah Ekejiuba.

"I would not hide that. That's not something you hide. That puts you in a terrible position, as well as the team. I think that would be the worst thing you could do in a situation like that. So if I ever got a concussion, I would definitely tell. I don't know how you could hide a concussion." - New England Patriots defensive lineman Mike Wright.

"My wife worries about it a little more than I do." - New York Giants tight end Kevin Boss.
