100%. All the vets in the league grew up watching NFL published hard hit highlight reels. They all played in middle school and high schools where hard hits were encouraged.

It takes a LONG time for safety related messaging to soak in through all the levels of the sport. The kids just starting peewee today are the ones who will have coaches/protocols that care about concussions for their entire career.

Until they're in their 50's we won't truly know how much better the preventions are.
