Certain players in the national football league (NFL) are more susceptible to being recipients of concussions more so than other players. One study was compiled of a research analysis that was broken up into two parts over a twelve-year span. Data from the first six years of the analysis was compared to the final six years of the analysis. The study compared all concussed NFL players by the player’s position, number of plays player was involved in, and what kind of play was being ran. According to the data in the twelve-year analysis, secondary defensive positions such as, safeties and cornerbacks, were the most concussed players in the NFL. The first six years indicated 143 concussions and the final six years indicated a total of 148 concussions.
