In the debut of Off the Grid, Doug Farrar's narrative podcast about all things football, we take a deep dive into the ways current and former NFL players feel about the league's recent admissions of the link between football and CTE. Hear from the safety who remains cynical, though he hasn't played since 2011. Hear from the guard who is trying to keep his place in the NFL, and is balancing that against the obvious and unavoidable risk to his future. Hear from the current starting left tackle of the Baltimore Ravens, who can't believe the NFL is as shortsighted as it's been. And hear from the former guard, only 26 years old, whose life has been irrevocably altered by the concussions he suffered in pro and college football.
