On the first play of Super Bowl XLVII, San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis fell on Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard.
Suddenly, a familiar pain resurfaced in a hurry. Six ribs, broken and healed earlier in the season, were broken again.
Pollard didn't leave the game.
So when asked about playing in the Super Bowl with a concussion, Pollard knows exactly what he would do. And it's what most NFL players say they would do: play.
In an NFL Nation anonymous survey, 85 percent of the 320 players polled said they would play in the Super Bowl with a concussion.
"We are competitors. We want to go out there and entertain. That's all we are. We're entertainers. Guys want to go out there," said Pollard, now with the Tennessee Titans. "They don't want to let themselves down. They don't want to let their teammates down. They want to go out there and play, not thinking about, 'OK, what can this affect later on down the line?' "
