Green Bay Packers legendary quarterback Brett Favre believes he has been concussed over 1000 times in his career.

There is obviously no way to prove this, and while it may be an exaggeration, Favre did talk about suffering hard hits.

The Hall of Famer explained his theory on The Bubba Army radio show this week

“Concussions happen all the time,” Favre said. “You get tackled and your head hits the turf, you see flashes of light or ringing in your ears but you’re able to play — that’s a concussion.”

“So, based on that, [I’ve suffered] thousands,” he continued. “Had to be, because every time my head hit the turf, there was ringing or stars going, flash bulbs … but I was still able to play.”

I mean Favre played 20 years in the NFL, and he was a tough SOB. He could have easily been hit extremely hard at least 50 times a season.

Favre has a great break down of concussions.
