Boise State cornerbacks coach Ashley Ambrose hears stories about the damage pro football inflicted on players from his era.
And for a long time, the 13-year NFL veteran didn’t want a doctor to examine him and tell him whether he should be concerned about what all the head-banging he did on the field could mean for his future.
“It’s a scary deal,” he said. “... I hope it doesn’t catch up with me in the long run.”
Ambrose recently changed his approach, encouraged by his wife to register for benefits as part of the $1 billion NFL concussion lawsuit settlement.
