ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday that he does not recall whether he suffered any concussions as a player at William & Mary and does not regret playing college football.
“I’m not sure. I can’t remember,” McDermott said, laughing, when asked about his concussion history.
McDermott’s comments came after Boston University researchers studying the brain of Aaron Hernandez revealed Thursday that the former New England Patriots tight end had stage 3 (out of 4) of the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Hernandez's lawyers have filed a lawsuit against the NFL and Patriots, accusing them of hiding the true dangers of the sport.
