Dr. Bennet Omalu, Concussion doctor who took on the NFL, photographed on location by editorial photographer Robert Houser
Remember the movie Concussion with Will Smith about a forensic pathologist who went up against the NFL? He had discovered CTS - brain injuries from impacts. This is that guy, Dr. Bennet Omalu. Horrible story about how the NFL basically ran him out of town, forcing him to move across the country and find a position in a small town as a medical examiner. But then, years later, his discoveries are adopted, and helmet technology changes. This guy could not have been a sweeter person to photograph, such a kind warm soul.
