Anyone who has had multiple grade 2 and 3 concussions throughout their high school, college, and/or pro career.

I heard Brian Cushing was banging helmets with teammates before the Texans last game...after he was ruled out with a concussion.

Mike Vick easily, everytime he falls I cringe, and coupled with him talking a min everytime he falls and get looking glassy eyed, I'm sure he will have it....

Vick better be thanking God he went to jail for like 2 quick years, that may have saved him from further punishment goin forth:manny:

excerpt from Dr Omalu's interview in GQ
We're not just talking about NFL players. The congressional hearings are possibly looking into the effects of head trauma on college and high school players, too.
Shockingly, we have found this even at the high school level. Bennet Omalu has examined the brains of three high school players who died as a result of injuries they sustained from playing football. In the brain of one of the players, he found incipient CTE, chronic traumatic encephalopathy.

CTE in a high school football player-the same sort of brain damage that led to the downfall of Mike Webster, Terry Long, Andre Waters, and so many others?
Right. In a high school player. It gets back to the point you made in the GQ article: What is the NFL's responsibility for the greater good? The greater good, meaning all the young men and women who desire to participate in football and other contact sports, the ones who aspire at a young age to emulate the NFL and their players and are fueled by their advertising and the incessant bombardment of our society. What is their responsibility to the greater good? I don't know. They're going to have to answer that.

This is when exaggerations and hyperbole diminish the authenticity of the issue. All of them will not get cte, not even most of them. Plenty of us played in highschool and college and will not develop it, and neither will a lot nfl players. The focus needs to be on those who suffered legit concussions more then once.
