As a former NFL player Jaren Jackson Jr. Authentic Jersey , I am very passionate about the issue of NFL players dying at such a young age.

I was really impressed with an article written by Peter Gray, PhD about the five major reasons why this tragedy is happening and why it needs to change for the future (and aspiring) players of NFL.

Dr. Lee Nadler, the Harvard Medical School dean who will head the research project, said: “We are not trying to change the game; we are trying to change the impact of the game.”From “$100m to Know Why NFLers Die Young? Here’s Why, For Free”

Football is a brutal sport that shortens lifespans for well-understood reasons.

By Peter Gray Jarell Martin Authentic Jersey , PhD

Dr. Gray’s article, written in early 2013, states that the NFL had just agreed to pay Harvard University $100,000,000 to learn why so many retired pro football players suffer lots of health problems and die about 20 years earlier than other males in America.

Dr. Gray takes umbrage at the idea the NFL is operating from callous disregard for the well-being and safety of the players while constantly claiming health and safety as their top priority.

Gray cites five major reasons why NFL players (and the thousands of wannabes who never break into the pros) suffer needlessly:

Grossly overweight:
The average NFL player weighs 250 lbs. Garrett Temple Authentic Jersey , too heavy for the average 30-year-old.
The average lineman is over 300 lbs.
Linemen are twice as likely to die before age 50 as are those who play other positions.
Retired players often die of heart disease.
Football coaches encourage this weight gain, even while the rest of the country tries to slim down for health reasons, and it’s not unusual for high school kids to bulk up to 270-300 lbs. these days.
Young people are not warned that it’s much easier to bulk up than it is to lose weight after being passed over by the NFL, so they become obese with no future in the sport.
