Robert Lee Gregor (born February 10, 1957) is an American former professional football player who was a defensive back for the San Diego Chargers of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Washington State Cougars.[1] He was selected by the Chargers in the fourth round of the 1980 NFL draft. Gregor started for San Diego in 1981, 1982 and 1983, but he was sidelined by injuries each year.[2]

After his career, Gregor joined a concussion-related class-action lawsuit against the NFL. The lawsuit stated that due to repeated head impacts during his NFL career, "Gregor has experienced cognitive and other difficulties including, but not limited to headaches, dizziness, loss of memory, depression, suicidal thoughts, sleep problems, and neck and cervical arthritis and associated numbness/tingling."[3] In 2015, a federal judge approved a settlement plan that could potentially cost the league $1 billion over 65 years.[4]
