We are deeply saddened by the loss of former NFL All-Pro Aldon Smith, who died Saturday at age 36, and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones.
His legal team announced today that Aldon’s family decided to donate his brain to the Boston University CTE Center, noting he suffered multiple concussions during his career. Their decision during such a difficult time is an extraordinary act of generosity that may help protect future generations. We join Aldon’s legal team in asking that his family be kept in your thoughts as they navigate this tremendous loss.
