History

Historical Context

In 2008 Tom Brady’s season-ending knee injury prompted the NFL’s 2009 owners meeting, where Commissioner Roger Goodell introduced a formal concussion protocol and capped kickoff wedges at two players. Subsequent 2010 rule changes further limited helmet-to-head contact. The recent hyperextension of quarterback Jayden Daniels in college echoes the league’s decades-long effort to tighten injury-prevention rules.
