Eric Reid Says He Has Considered Retirement Due to Concussions

San Francisco 49ers free safety Eric Reid is only two seasons into a promising NFL career. Despite his early success, the young star acknowledged Tuesday that he's considered walking away because of concussions.

Eric Branch of SFGate.com reported what Reid had to say regarding his future and the steps he's already taken to assess the predicament about continuing to play:

Everybody evaluates their own situation as far as playing this game. I've evaluated mine and I've decided I still want to play. [...] There is a doctor that I'm looking further into and I may end up going to see.
