John Urschel announced his retirement from the Baltimore Ravens in late July, two days after news broke that CTE had been found in 110 of 111 former NFL players who had donated their brains to science. It didn’t take a genius — like him — to do the math.

News media reports at the time said that the disturbing report was the reason Urschel retired at 26. But he says it had nothing to do with his decision. The timing, he says, was mere coincidence.

“It’s one of those things,” Urschel tells USA TODAY Sports, “where correlation and causation are not exactly the same thing.”

 

I think it is a shame that class offerings may have had something to do with him not continuing.
