When was the last time that happened? If it was commonplace I'd get his concern, but when was the last time someone actually died on the field? The only time I can recall was in the 1800s in a UGA/UVA game, but the player's mother sent a letter to the state requesting that football continue on (since there was a motion to quit playing football alltogether).
Did that ole miss guy mullins die on the field?

The only time in the NFL a player died on the field was Chuck Hughes of the Detroit Lions in 1971 in a game in Detroit vs the Bears.
And he did not die because of a hit. He had an untimely heart attack due to suffering from undiagnosed arteriosclerosis.

18 players died in 1904 alone, spurring Theodore Roosevelt to convene a summit of university presidents with the aim of making the game safer. LINK
