Former UA All-American Cecil touches on concussions during speech

In Tucson to speak at the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame banquet, Arizona’s 1987 consensus All-America safety Chuck Cecil spoke frankly about the many concussion-related hits he endured in his Pac-10 and NFL careers. “I probably had four or five concussions, when I’d wake up and they’d be asking me what my name is,” he remembered. “But under the new terminology used today, I probably had 40 or 50 concussions.”
