Jermichael Finley did an excellent job by pulling back the curtain and allowing fans to see what the Shield doesn’t want others to know.
Finley crystallized the concussion problem. He suffered five concussions in his playing career and after bruising his spinal cord, his lifelong addiction no longer allowed him to play.
The reason Finley is interesting is because his son Kaydon shares the same feelings that every family member of an NFL player has. When Kaydon was 5 he said, “Daddy, I don’t want you to play football anymore.” That was after Finley suffered a concussion in Cincinnati while taking a knee to the head.
