Looks like the old concussion bug strikes again.

Kramer, 50, played for four NFL teams during a 10-year career. He led the Lions to a 12-4 record and an appearance in the 1991 NFC Championship game.
His former wife, Marshawn Kramer, told NBC News he had been suffering from depression as a result of brain injuries.

He had a son that OD'd on heroin. Depression is probably exacerbating his brain condition as well.

Sad, and will continue to cause the NFL to look at reducing violent hits.

Does a person survive a suicide attempt or did they just screw it up?

He might have long-term concussion issues. But, it could be depression. Losing a kid like he did can make that kind of situation much worse. And, I know of people who have had serious depression after losing a child. I hope he gets the help he needs, whatever his health situation is.

I would trade lives with Junior Seau and Erik Kramer 6 times a week and twice on Sundays.

It's difficult for some former pro athletes to integrate into society post career. Same for actors/actresses.
Their whole identity changes, it can be a challenge for many.

How do you know the depression is the result of concussions and not it's own stand alone issue?
