Those of you young enough to remember may be interested in reading this article on the fear induced in a quarterback by the one and only Lawrence Taylor.
You don't think of fear as a factor in professional football. You assume that the sort of people who make it to the NFL are immune to the emotion. Perhaps they don't mind being hit or maybe they just don't get scared; but the idea of pro football players sweating and shaking and staring at the ceiling at night, worrying about the next day's violence, seems preposterous.
