NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has plenty to talk about today, but he opened his annual state of the league press conference with talk about player safety.
He said the league was about to hire a chief medical officer to oversee medial policies, with an announcement expected soon.
He cited stats from yesterday’s report that concussions were down 25 percent from the previous year, but said there was more to be done.
He added that hits to defenseless players were down 68 percent this season.
