Fifty-eight years old and a quarter century out of football, Steve Jordan isn’t done fighting for the betterment of tomorrow’s NFL player.
“About a year and a half ago, Solomon Wilcots, who I played a year with [1991] in Minnesota, called about participating in a clinical study that could one day lead to detecting CTE [chronic traumatic encephalopathy] in a living brain,” said the former Vikings tight end. “If we can do that, it could improve treatment for those with CTE. I said, ‘Of course.’”
The study is based in downtown Phoenix at Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGEN) and is partnered with Aethlon Medical out of San Diego.
