Many stories about concussions in the NFL are scary, but even on that scale, Tyler Varga has a frightening tale to tell.
The Indianapolis Star's Zak Keefer wrote an excellent story about Varga, a running back from Yale whose rookie season was cut short last year due to a concussion. The concussion symptoms lasted four months.
Varga detailed for Keefer the issues he had during the concussion, and there was also an interesting passage in which Varga — who has an evolutionary biology degree and wants to be an orthopedic surgeon — questioned the drugs being offered to him for his concussion symptoms and refused to take them.
