Being a player is one thing. Being a parent is another.

Za’Darius Smith shares his fears with _iambmac surrounding CTE and what the latest research means for the future of football. A recent study reported that 24.5% of 878 former NFL players who died from 2016–2021 had CTE.

As a father and a professional athlete, he says the possibility of CTE is something he thinks about personally, and he wants to see the NFL do more to protect the players who put their bodies on the line every Sunday.
