Garrett Webster, son of ex-NFL star, asks for brains in name of science

Garrett Webster searches online news stories for echoes of his father, NFL great Mike Webster, who died in 2002.

Webster works for the Brain Injury Research Institute, a group trying to advance the understanding of concussions and neurological disorders. Webster spends part of his day reaching out to the families of deceased football players and military personnel. He asks the relatives if they might be willing to donate their loved one’s brains to science. “It’s not easy,” Webster says of his delicate work.
