Great interview PonyPride...if this guy can stay healthy he seems like the real deal...if you interview him again I would be interested to know if concussion prone players are given a special helmet that helps them even more than a standard helmet.

If true why would everyone not wear the special helmet?
I refuse to accept only those who have had several concussions get special helmets. If there is a better helmet all should be wearing them. If it is true then football should be shamed.
Now there is the giant padded helmet that is worn in practice by certain players

I could have used one of those. I would guess I was concussed well over 10 times in my brief college career.
