That would make more sense if he wasn't wearing a helmet when he got hit with a mild tackle.
Helmets don't really do a good job preventing concussions. They are meant to protect from skull fractures. Which was how a lot of football players used to die, before Teddy Roosevelt mandated helmets.
People with a history of repeated concussions? I could definitely still see them dropping like that, helmet or no, mild tackle or no...
I'm not sure of his concussion history specifically, though...
