Will Smith is starring in a new movie called “Concussion” and it’s expected to rock the NFL.  Former NFL superstar Shawne Merriman says he was approached about being a part of the movie but shot it down.

The former San Diego Chargers linebacker says he’s convinced the movie is “definitely going to give the NFL a black eye” but says he didn’t feel right jumping aboard the project.

The movie — set to come out in December — is supposed to blow the lid off an alleged NFL conspiracy to hide the debilitating life-long effects of concussions from players.

“I turned it down and said ‘No’, I don’t want to be a part of it because I didn’t know how they were going to make it look.”

Still, Merriman says concussions are a problem among NFL vets saying, “A lot of people have problems and the NFL should fix it .. period.”
