The Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Heisman Trophy
winner filed the suit in Chicago. The suit seeks damages of at
least $50,000.
Hornung, 80, says he suffered multiple concussions during his
playing career and suffers from dementia.
In his suit, Hornung said that Riddell should have warned
players that the plastic helmets "provided no protection"
against brain trauma.
Hornung was the 1956 Heisman winner at Notre Dame. He was a star
running back for the Green Bay Packers and was named NFL MVP in
1962. He retired in 1966.
