As an example, if the NFL went full flag football, any other tackle football league in full pads would easily overtake them.

BTW, the two concussions I've had playing football were with no pads or helmet. Never got one in pads.
The only concussion I ever had was when I was playing center field, and Bobby Coombs came over from right to catch a fly ball hit directly at me. Bobby went on to be a D-1 linebacker, and he put me completely out.
