NFL vet collaborating with the College of Engineering to study impact protection solutions.
Springs was an All-American and twice earned All-Big Ten honors playing for the Ohio State Buckeyes. After that, he held his ground as a cornerback for three teams, made the Pro Bowl and snatched 33 interceptions during his 13-season career in the NFL.
Now, Springs is bringing his drive for impact back to his alma mater, where he is collaborating with university researchers within the College of Engineering to change the game, and science, affecting how we better protect ourselves from concussion and impacts that affect our everyday lives.
