Obviously (hopefully?) the NFL has advanced procedures and diagnostics, but as far as individual concussions, it sounds cliche, but they're all different. I've seen kids get them from fairly pedestrian looking hits and kids bounce up from vicious hits to the head. Sometimes, maybe more often than not, they clear protocol as fast as possible without incident. But we had one kid who got concussed on a regular looking hit and he was out about 3 weeks. 

There are neurological signs and symptoms that can't be faked or covered up, which of course is where an independent physician comes into play. There's also no way to hurry the process along other than proper rest. Surely NFL teams have it down to as exact a science as possible.
