I see no way to assess that St. Juste will experience any more concussion risk going forward than any other CB. One concussion (it was one) doesn't make for a trend.

I mean if we're talking Jordan Reed or Luke Keuchly and they've had a thousand of them then OK I get it.

“After having one concussion you are more likely to have another — some doctors estimate you increase your risk up to three times. There are two reasons why your risk increases: carelessness and brain chemistry. The first reason is the obvious: After you hit your head, you will be slower to react.”

There are also studies showing that genetic makeup can play a part.

So, based on my internet medical expertise it seems like BSJ is at greater risk than other players.

Also why do you say 1? I thought he was concussed three times? To me he is on a faster track than Reed was. Unfortunately too, because I think he has a lot of potential.
