CANTON, Ohio — Terrell Davis isn’t immune to the fear that so many other current and former football players experience now. With greater awareness of concussions and head injuries, and with more studies on the prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in the brains of deceased players, Davis is concerned.
But he’s also thankful.
Hours before receiving his gold jacket on Friday, Davis, the Broncos’ all-time leading rusher and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017, reflected on his seven years in the league and a moment that all but solidified his place in the Hall.
