The Intersection of Sports and Health: Football Icons Shaun O’Hara, Ed McCaffrey, and Alex Smith

Shaun O’Hara, Ed McCaffrey, and Alex Smith join host Solomon Wilcots from Radio Row for an in-depth conversation on the evolving role of sports medicine in professional football. These NFL veterans share their personal experiences with injuries, recovery, and the medical advancements that helped extend their careers.

Alex Smith shares his journey back from a career-threatening leg injury, Ed McCaffrey reflects on the long-term impact of the game and post-retirement health, and Shaun O’Hara discusses how today’s athletes are better equipped for injury prevention and recovery. As former pros—Smith, a 16-season quarterback, McCaffrey, a championship-winning wide receiver, and O’Hara, a New York Giants offensive lineman—they explore advancements in sports medicine, from orthopedic treatments to the role of nutrition, sleep, and cutting-edge rehab techniques.
