Concussion No. 4 didn't only send the quarterback into retirement. He slipped further into depression. How Kevin Kolb escaped this darkness gives hope to the sport itself.
Dammit, Tyler, this whole thing should be required reading for every person involved in any way with all levels of organized football. It makes me feel guilty for how much emotion I've invest in the game for 60 years or so without a better level of understanding. It started to change a bit for me when Chris Borland abruptly retired. This moves the needle even more.
Thank you for your quality work Tyler. Fascinating man is Kevin Kolb. Didn’t know his story until now. Thanks for always including people’s spiritual lives in your pieces and reporting on the whole person.
Thank you so very much for this story. I’ve oftened wondered what’s happened to some of these players. I’m a life long football fan. I hate seeing some of the hits these men take that you know are career ending. I sit and wonder how will they manage? You have answered my question. Thank you. I’m so happy for Kevin Kolb, what a strong wonderful person he is to his family, friends and community. I believe he will survive his symptoms. He has God by his side.

A side of football that we might not otherwise see. Thanks, Tyler.
