- Brain
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Kids' brains are developing. Their heads are a larger part of their body, and their necks are not as strong as adults' necks. So kids may be at a greater risk of head and brain injuries than adults.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm concerned about the future of football, because we have paid a lot of attention to concussions. We are more aware of concussions. But it's really the repetitive minor injuries, the ones that are asymptomatic that occur on almost every play of the game, the sub-concussive hits: that's the big problem for football.

- Nov 07, 2020
Is there a way that we would actually recognize the game of football with fewer tackles and fewer collisions? I'm not sure. But I think that's the direction we're going to have to go. Bigger fields? Fewer players on the field? I think we are ultimately going to have to change some of the major rules of the game.

- Football
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was born with football - my brothers, my dad. I played football when I was a kid. I mean, you know, it was part of life. It's a part of growing up. It's - you know, it's a way of life.
