Former NFL quarterback Matt Hasselbeck announced on Wednesday that he would be donating his brain to CTE research, specifically to the Concussion Legacy Foundation in Massachusetts, once he is done using it of course.
"During my football career, we didn't have enough information on the long-term effects of concussions and brain trauma," Hasselbeck said on Wednesday. "I want to be part of the solution, and by pledging my brain I am doing my part to provide the data to protect the next generation of athletes."
Hasselbeck’s only documented concussion in the NFL came with the Seahawks in 2010 in a game against the Raiders, a 33-3 loss in which he went 13-of-32 for 163 yards and an interception.
