Randall Cobb revealed that he doesn't want kids to play in the NFL

Randall Cobb has played 13 seasons in the NFL and is currently a free agent. While he has found success throughout his career, he recently revealed that he doesn't want his three sons to follow in his footsteps when it comes to football.

Cobb was a guest on Will Compton and Taylor Lewan's "Bussin with the Boys" podcast and revealed that he will encourage them to play sports but, not football due to his concerns about CTE, the brain condition Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy.

"You know, definitely I would love for them to follow my footsteps. But I also don't want my kids to play football either. Like I'm trying to push them to soccer or tennis or golf. I took all the hits. I took all that possible CTE, so y'all could go do something else."-Cobb said

Randall Cobb then continued by saying:

"So if they would make that decision to decide to play later on in life, then you know, I'll probably let them around high school, but I'm not gonna let them play [professionally] like they can play flag. That's my personal opinion."

Randall Cobb did say that he will allow his sons to play flag football but, not tackle football until they are at least in high school.
