The NFL’s path to improve player safety continued Saturday morning at the fourth annual “1st and Future” experience at the Ferst Center for the Arts at the Georgia Tech campus.
Player safety awareness, especially concussions, has been a driving theme for the NFL in recent years, and points of emphasis on rules or modifications take place virtually every season. The culture change has resulted in a decrease in concussions, and Commissioner Roger Goodell lauded the progress of players safety initiatives during a panel discussion following the presentations.
