NFL | Curtis Martin doesn't blame league Mon Jul 23, 11:18 PM
Former NFL RB Curtis Martin, who is about to be enshrined in the National Football League Hall of Fame, said Monday, July 23, that he suffered 'a lot' of concussions during the course of his career, and he became 'an expert at covering it up.' Martin is not among those suing the league over concussions, and he doesn't feel bitter about the risks he took. 'This was just the mentality, it's no fault of the NFL or anything, it's just a part of the game,' Martin said. 'When I would get hit, they knew that I popped up just like that, every time I get hit. Any time that I didn't pop up, my fullback knew to come pick me up because I was probably either dazed or knocked out.'
