"Patriots fined and stripped of draft picks for under-reporting concussions"... film at 11
I’ve had one concussion in my life, as a result of a cycling accident in 2002. I’d be dead without my helmet; it was split in two. When I came to 15 minutes later, a nurse asked me my name, and I thought, “I don’t know it right now... but I think it will come back to me.”
Still have massive migraines as a result of that accident, when the humidity changes, nigh onto 20 years later. And that’s ONE blackout concussion. ONE.
Gronk.... stay down.
Gronkowski certainly was not on the injury report 20 times with a concussion, which makes this fairly notable that the NFL isn't doing the best job when it comes to disclosing concussions.
Rob Gronkowski: I've had probably 20 concussions in my life
The article ends with:
Where exactly did Gronk say all 20 of the concussions he experienced happened while playing professional football? Several of them may have occurred while in college or while in high school.
Does he ski or own a dirt bike?
(Not minimizing the hazards of playing in the NFL)

I agree that some of them could have happened outside of his time with the Pats, but I'll take a guess that the significant majority did happen in NE just based on math (years in and out of the NFL) and the leveling of size once he got to the NFL (bigger collisions against bigger and faster players).Rob Gronkowski: I've had probably 20 concussions in my life
