Doesn't have to be, I went through this in College in 1974. Our Capt who was one of our DB's had just made a text book tackle, wrapped up and took the receiver to the ground. He got up we came off the field and we were sitting on the bench he started to look like a ghost he got so pale. On the way to the Hospital he had 4 heart attacks and died on the operating table . During the play he had gotten a knee to the chest and it ruptured his spleen.
At the time we didn't know any of this had happen and on another play in the same game a player(a DT) had a burst aneurysm, He made it to the Hospital and through the operation but he was never the same. Our season was canceled and I never played tackle football again.
