For the first time ever on March 15, the NFL admitted to a link between football and the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE, per ESPN.com's Steve Fainaru. Former USC linebacker and safety Su'a Cravens believes the risk of CTE is part of the job description.
Cravens is about to enter the league through the 2016 draft and spoke after USC's pro day on Wednesday about CTE and concussions in the violent sport, per ESPN.com's Kyle Bonagura:
I know I'm going to the game where I'm going to hit and sometimes you're going to use your head to hit and you might get a concussion.
