My son is a Defensive starter for our high school team as a Sophmore because he is 5' 11" and 180 lbs, so they put him on the line against some monstrous sized guys. He ended up with a concussion that kept him out for two games. I think being on the line against big guys is better than running full speed down the field, and having those kind of collisions with other guys and the ground.
There were new rules enacted this year in high school sports that automatically disqulify you for the present game and the next weeks game due to a concussion.I don't know how the NFL handles concussions, and who is responsible for releasing a player to play after having one, but you can be sure that some teams are pushing that timeline to get their money's worth.
