Brett Favre Hopes 'Concussed' Documentary Sheds Light On Head Trauma in NFL

BRUISED BRAIN STORIES TMZSports.com

Brett Favre's new doc, "Concussed," drops Tuesday -- chronicling the journey of late former player, Tyler Sash, as well as the football legend -- a film the retired Packers great desperately hopes will shine a light on the effects of head trauma in the NFL.

54-year-old Favre, who has long been a proponent of keeping players safe while on the field, served as an Executive Producer on Concussed: The American Dream

While Brett's story is well-known -- he was as tough as they come on the field -- the documentary also highlights the plight of Sash, ex-New York Giants safety, who died in 2015 from a drug overdose two years after he was released by the G-Men.
