Former Viking Brad Johnson Promotes Concussion Education at Dick's Sporting Goods

Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback and Super Bowl champion Brad Johnson visited in Richfield Friday to promote his PACE (Protecting Athletes Through Concussion Education) program and baseline concussion testing.

Not only does PACE aim to educate young athletes on the importance of baseline testing, it also hopes to raise enough funds to provide testing for one million young athletes.

While at Dick's Johnson—who suffered several concussions during his career—talked about the importance of concussion education and testing, watched as young athletes were tested and, of course, signed autographs for fans.

will donate $1 to PACE for every pair of athletic shoes purchased at the store or online through Sept. 12, 2011.
