Brian Westbrook knows that 25-year-olds usually aren’t thinking about what their lives are going to be like once their football-playing days are over.
And so, he has no problem with the league changing the rules to make the game safer.
Westbrook, 33, sustained at least two concussions during his playing days and said recently that he’s already suffering from short-term memory loss.
While many running backs – Emmitt Smith, Marshall Faulk and others – have spoken out against the new rule that will penalize offensive players from using the crown of their helmets against defenders, Westbrook supports it.
