Former Patriots punter Zoltan Mesko working to tackle head-trauma issue

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- During his time with the New England Patriots from 2010-2012, punter Zoltan Mesko made his mark both on and off the field, becoming the youngest winner of the team’s prestigious community service award. The Wall Street Journal once dubbed him the NFL's "most interesting man".

Now, as he transitions fully to his post-NFL career, he’s shifting into a higher gear with his off-the-field endeavors by delving into the highly charged area of head trauma in football.

First, a bit of history.

It was the Senior Bowl, 2010, and Mesko was one of the country’s top punters coming out of the University of Michigan.
