Earlier this week, the retired Rob Gronkowski informed CBS News in an interview that he "probably had like 20 concussions in my life" that included "like five blackout ones."
Yet he said he would let his kid play football, because he would "educate him on what I went through" because injuries are "fixable."

I would never let a child play football.
