The Patriots quarterback told ABC he is glad head injuries have become a hot NFL topic, and all athletes should know about them.

"It’s a very important topic," Brady said this week while in New York to promote a product he endorses. "If you are going to put yourself kind of in the line of fire, so to speak, you better educate yourself."

Brady has been in the NFL for 16 seasons.
