NFL running backs take a serious pounding. Brown played 9 years. Gale Sayers also quit very young, though like Koufax, it was mostly for health reasons.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
