NFL Hosts Concussion Seminar At Johns Hopkins University

Speaking at the NFL’s seminar at Johns Hopkins University, the heads of the NFL’s Head, Spine and Neck Committee suggested the NFL needs a “culture change” if efforts to improve player safety will improve.

Ellenbogen and Dr. Hunt Batjer are the new leaders of the committee. They’ve previously expressed interest in distancing themselves from the previous committee who weren’t as aggressive in identifying concussion problems in the league.

The NFL is hosting a seminar that’s aimed at improving and discussing the NFL’s efforts at reducing the amount of concussions around the league.

Speaking to a group of roughly 300 people, Goodell said the focus of the seminar was one part of a larger movement towards overall player safety.
