Jim Brown: NFL ‘way behind’ NASCAR

Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown, attending the Sprint Cup race at Pocono on Sunday, said the NFL has a ways to go to catch up with NASCAR in terms of safety improvements for the sport.

“We are way behind,” Brown said. “NASCAR stepped up their safety concepts, and I think the drivers feel NASCAR is doing everything that can be done.

“So we are a little behind NASCAR in that respect. Someone in NASCAR realized there were certain things that could be done to make it safer. The same thing has to happen in football. It’s two different sports, but you want to make sure it’s as safe as you can make it.”
