In a study, 67.7% of concussions came from head on collisions with other players helmets (Pellman Epidemiological features). Head on collisions have always been a huge problem in the NFL, one that quite frankly has not been solved. Despite the rules banning leading with the head and extra cushioning in the helmets, these type of concussions still seem to happen at a very alarming rate. Another 20.9% of concussions come from opposition body contact with helmets, meaning that a shoulder pad hit the head rotating the neck(Pellman Epidemiological features). Body contact in football is basically mandatory as no other real option of tackling is ever given. Using this, all players besides maybe a kicker make bodily contact with players, making these concussions more incidental than anything else. This, however, proves the point that NFL should pay players compensation for the amount of sacrifice their bodies go through for the entertainment of their industry. The last 11.4% comes from hard contact with the ground (Pellman Players Returning). Contact with the ground can be the most violent and destructive of the hits that delivers concussions. When hitting the ground the brain is smacked against the skull and the neck is subjected to a specific rotation causing permanent injury. The majority of these incidences could be helped if the NFL would review the quality of the helmets the players are given to
