This is really sad. Maybe after a year away from football though he can come back.

I feel bad for this guy but I'm glad the Dolphins didn't pick him.

I don't think one year away will reduce the risk that much. I think his playing days are over

The spirit was willing, but the head was woozy... Too bad, because the guy definitely had some excellent skills to play the game. Hopefully he can get past the concussion issues to have a full and happy life outside of football going forward.

The body has a remarkable power to heal itself given enough time. I don't think this is the last you will see of Ryan Swope in a football uniform.

That's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Yeah I think your wrong...lol.. As more research comes out about brain injuries they don't really heal over time. Let alone heal enough to the point for a guy to start taking massive hits to his head on a football field.

He will never play again. I think that is set in stone.
