Former NFL star Sam Shields admitted he regrets playing in the league as the former cornerback claimed the impact of concussions over his career has left his brain ‘mushed’.
The cornerback played eight seasons in the league after going undrafted in 2010 and even won the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers. However, Shields missed almost 14 months struggling with concussions as he sat out the entire 2017 season after playing in just one match in 2016.
He returned to action with the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 but it would prove to be the final season of his career. Shields was named to the Pro Bowl in 2014 while he snagged 19 interceptions across his eight year career.
