After months of research, an NFL Linebacker with the San Francisco 49ers get’s off the phone with a leading Brain Scientist from Boston University. His mind is made up. There is no doubt remaining. Chris Borland is about to walk away from a 4 year, multi million dollar contract, a move that would shock the sporting world, and label him as “The Most Dangerous Man in Football”. Linebacker Chris Borland, described as a heat seeking missile, was selected in the 3rd round of the 2014 NFL draft for the San Francisco 49ers. As a college football player he was named the Big Ten’s Freshman of the year, got on the watch-list for the Butkus Award, given to the nations best linebackers, and ranked the #4 defensive MVP by ESPN -- just a few of Borland’s achievements which got the attention of the NFL scouts and thrust him into the spotlight. Yet months after getting all-rookie honors for recording 107 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and a fumble recovery for the 49ers and with a stellar football career ahead for this 24 year old – Chris Borland walked away from it all, March 2015, confident about the biggest decision he has made in his life! This is his incredible story!
