On here, on TV, on Twitter. This was a truly shocking play because of how routine it was.
Things will get back to normal but I'd bet money everyone on every team is going to feel weird stepping back out there this weekend. I wouldn't be shocked if some guys have a real hard time with contact this weekend. It's going to take a minute to get back in that routine where you're not thinking about that play and the game becomes natural again. Doesn't matter how old they are.

And you are assuming because what happened could have been he had a heart condition or something not related to the play at all. We still don't know that...
Pretty sure there have been multiple ocassion where athletes have had a cardiac event on the field, non contact ones. This could be one.
