Former Green Bay Packers cornerback Sam Shields, an undrafted free agent who became an indispensable part of a Super Bowl champion, appeared Tuesday on "South Beach Sessions," a podcast hosted by Dan Le Batard, and recounted his harrowing issues with concussions, including symptoms that still linger.
Shields, who played for the Packers until 2016, missed all but one game that final season after suffering his fifth documented concussion. The Packers released him in early 2017, and he played for the Rams in his final NFL season in 2018, ending his career in another Super Bowl when the Rams fell to New England 13-3.
