Chris Borland could have just walked away.
He could have just made his peace after one year of professional football and gone on to do great things in a private sector job or maybe get a higher education degree.
Borland is the former San Francisco 49er who left the game following his rookie season citing his long-term health. For that, I say “I understand completely and I wish you the best young Mr. Borland.”
But Borland has now decided that he can’t just walk away. He’s made the choice to take more parting shots at the game that paid for his University of Wisconsin education.
