Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson, once considered one of the NFL's most feared rushers, has expressed concerns about the long-term effects of football on his brain health.
Johnson, who played for the Chiefs from 2003 to 2009, was photographed looking at the scoreboard during a game against the San Diego Chargers at Arrowhead Stadium on October 25, 2009. The image captures a moment from his prime years when he was a dominant force in the league.
In recent comments, Johnson discussed his fears about potential brain damage resulting from his playing career, joining a growing number of former NFL players who have spoken publicly about neurological issues linked to repeated head trauma.
