Former NFL MLB Gary Plummer said he thinks the late LB Junior Seau had probably 1,500 concussions in his career. "In the 1990s, I did a concussion seminar. They said a Grade 3 concussion meant you were knocked out, and a Grade 1 meant you were seeing stars after a hit, which made me burst out in laughter," Plummer said. "As a middle linebacker in the NFL, if you don't have five of these (Grade 1 effects) each game, you were inactive the next game. Junior played for 20 years. That's five concussions a game, easily. How many in his career then? That's over 1,500 concussions. I know that's startling, but I know it's true. I had over 1,000 in my 15 years. I felt the effects of it. I felt depression going on throughout my divorce. Junior went through it with his divorce."

Seau did not rule out a return to the NFL, but he stressed that if he does come back it will only be with the New England Patriots. Seau said, "Obviously there's gotta be a need for me on a team that has a chance, which is the New England Patriots. I'm not just gonna play the game because I love the game; it has to be that there's a purpose as to why I'd go back and play in the National Football League, and that is to help finish what we started last year with the Pats. And that's the only reason I'm looking into that. Other than that, going in and playing for another team besides the Pats, it would be a waste of my time and a waste of theirs."
