re: Ryan Swope Still Not Cleared for OTAs With Arizona

In 2012, the only concussion that I can recall occurred during the La Tech game

this was the only one that was diagnosed as a concussion. I don't remember anything in the CB either. Concussions add up though. He had one in high school iirc. He had several his first couple of years at A&M and last year I think the only one was the Arky game. I remember them commenting that one reason he came back to A&M was because he was labeled an injury risk because of concussions. And clearly it's why he slid in the draft this year.

But it really does make you wonder how he can still be having effects this long after. I would guess that Sherman would have followed NFL protocol on them. Sumlin I dunno. But you can always tell by a player's reaction when it happens. They don't stand up and celebrate because they don't know where they are. I can't remember a single hit save maybe the last play vs LSU that Swope stayed down this year besides the obvious LT incident. Anyone else remember one?

Anyway, I hope for Swope's sake, he stays healthy. Seeing some of those guys that had multiple concussions later in life is just sad. I hope he can either find a way to play injury free or he hangs them up honestly because it just isn't worth the risk. He'll always be an Aggie legend
