Incidentally, a lot of former NFL players suffer from CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy). Colts tight end John Mackey died in July 2011. Former Raiders QB, Ken Stabler passed away in 2016. It was later pronounced that he was a victim of CTE.

However, of late, NFL organizers adopt a word of caution regarding the safety of the players. As a result, there is a rising awareness in areas like soft plays, where the opposition respects the health and stamina of a player. This marks a more mature and sporting gesture, in an aggressive sport like football, say experts and fans. In the end, the health and well-being of players matter a lot. Thus, NFL authorities and players are aware of the responsibility to play with safety.
