Working alongside a company like GTX Corp, keeps me in the important discussion about brain health. I’m excited to support solutions like GTX Corp’s GPS SmartSoles on behalf of myself and fellow players.”
Colin McCarthy is a former NFL linebacker for the Tennessee Titans. After experiencing injuries, McCarthy chose to retire from the NFL in 2015. McCarthy commented, “As a new athlete endorser to GTX Corp, I look forward to working with a company that utilizes their resources to benefit those who suffer from cognitive issues. I could be facing some of these brain health issues in the future, and I appreciate being a part of keeping those who are affected safe and being part of creating awareness for others who are at risk.”
