Rates among NFL players need to be compared to the rates that occur in the normal population.
For example 53 roster spots, 32 teams, each spot being turned over every 4 years on average for 40 years gives a suicide rate of around 20 per 100,000 people per year, which is in the ballpark of suicide rates among US males. I'm not saying that there is nothing to this, but it is way too early to jump to any conclusions.
