Drew Brees is one of the best players in the NFL currently, but that doesn't mean he thinks his line of work is for everyone, including his three sons. "At a certain age, I think it's appropriate. I think you can be too young to go out there and strap on a helmet," Brees told USA TODAY on Wednesday. Brees and his wife, Brittany, decided they would not allow their sons Baylen, 4; Bowen, 2; Callen, 1 to play football before they are teenagers, because they don't believe letting them play is worth the risk of injury at a young age. "As a parent, you have to know what those risks are, and the protocols that have to take place when things happen," Brees said. "When you get a concussion, you should be out for a certain period of time. You should be taking the baseline test. You go back and take that test again, get cleared by medical professionals before you ever play. For a kid, it should be at least a week or two, if not more."
