Why former 49er Chris Borland is the most dangerous man in football


One day in April, the NFL asked Chris Borland to take a random drug test. The timing of this request was, in a word, bizarre, since Borland, a San Francisco 49ers linebacker, had retired a month earlier after a remarkable rookie season. He said he feared getting brain damage if he continued to play. Borland had been amazed at the reaction to his decision, the implications of which many saw as a direct threat to the NFL. (ESPN.com)
