In the wake of Tua Tagovailoa‘s recent string of head injuries … Warren Moon is revealing he, too, struggled with concussions during his NFL career — but, he tells TMZ Sports he’s not feeling any real effects from them decades later.
The 67-year-old Hall of Famer played for multiple franchises from 1984 to 2000 — and he says during that timeframe, he was diagnosed with a concussion on six separate occasions.
Moon, though, told us he still considers himself very healthy … and is consistently passing all of his medical checkups despite the repeated blows to the head he suffered when he was a star signal-caller.
“If you ask certain people, I’m out of my mind,” he said with a laugh. “If you ask certain people, I’m out of my mind,” he said with a laugh. I’ve taken a number of neurology exams as part of NFL’s evaluation procedure over the past few years and passed them all. “
I don’t think I’ve lost my memory or anything of that nature. “
But, admittedly, he said he does wake up daily wondering if and when he will feel the effects of the many brain bruises he sustained.
