Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre is telling parents to wait until their children are 14 years old to play tackle football. The former Green Bay Packers legend released a powerful public service announcement in a “TODAY” exclusive in partnership with the Concussion Legacy Foundation.

According to the PSA, the longer a child plays tackle football, they are more likely to develop chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Favre, who spent 19 seasons in the NFL, told “TODAY” that he may have experienced brain injuries during his playing days.

“I don’t know what normal feels like. Do I have CTE? I really don’t know,” Favre said on Tuesday. “Concussions are a very, very serious thing and we’re just scraping the surface of how severe they are.”
