Tony Dungy will lead communication between NFL and its players

Tony Dungy, retiring as coach of the Indianapolis Colts after last season, is now a special adviser to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. And he will also take a lead role in improving communication between the league and players by leading a new NFL player advisory forum.

The forum will meet with players, who wore or wear NFL jerseys, about league policies, programs and issues that affect their lives on and off the field, including player health and safety, personal conduct, game rules and procedures, career transition and player development. Both Goodell and union officials have been invited to attend the meetings.

Dungy expects as many as 50 players from all age groups will take part in the meetings. By so far it has been confirmed that Pro Bowl players Kurt Warner, Ray Lewis and Brian Dawkins are among the players to attend.
