<\/span>NFL career<\/span><\/h2>\nBorland was selected by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round (77th overall) of the 2014 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
His selection was viewed as a value pick due to his impressive college performance and potential in the NFL.<\/p>\n
During his rookie season in 2014, Borland quickly made a name for himself after initially serving as a backup.<\/p>\n
He became a starter following an injury to veteran linebacker Patrick Willis and led the team with 108 total tackles in just eight starts.<\/p>\n
His outstanding performance earned him recognition as NFC Defensive Player of the Month in November 2014, along with several accolades highlighting his impact on the field.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Retirement<\/span><\/h2>\nDespite this promising start to his NFL career, Borland announced his retirement in March 2015 after just one season.<\/p>\n
His decision was largely influenced by concerns over long-term brain injuries associated with football, particularly chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which has affected many former players.<\/p>\n
After retiring from professional football, Borland became an advocate for player safety and health.<\/p>\n
He has worked with organizations focused on concussion research and prevention, such as The Concussion Legacy Foundation.<\/p>\n
Additionally, he has been involved in media production and mindfulness education, emphasizing mental health awareness among athletes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
