Benjamin Jeffrey Utecht (born June 30, 1981) is a former American football player who was a tight end for the Indianapolis Colts and the Cincinnati Bengals. He was signed by the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2004. He played college football at Minnesota. He earned a Super Bowl ring with the Colts in Super Bowl XLI over the Chicago Bears.

Following his fifth concussion, Ben ended his football career to focus on reinventing himself after the NFL as a musician, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur. In 2014, Ben released his single "You Will Always Be My Girls" dedicated to his family in form of a letter to his wife Karyn and his 4 daughters, as he feared that one day that his brain injuries will lead him to not know them.

Today, just as he always has, Ben continues to chase his dreams, finding his way from a small river town in Minnesota to a Super Bowl championship field. He has established himself as a prominent corporate and motivational speaker in the areas of leadership and culture. Both of his programs, The Champion’s Way™ and The MVP Program™, stem from lessons he learned in the locker room with Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy and in the huddle with future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning. Both programs illuminate dynamic ways to succeed in business and life.

Ben has found success in many realms, sitting on the prestigious board of the American Brain Foundation, authoring Counting the Days While My Mind Slips Away with Simon and Schuster, and releasing award-nominated albums as a professional singer. However, without question, Ben would tell you his greatest accomplishment is being a husband to his beautiful wife and a father to their four daughters.

Following his fifth concussion, Utecht ended his football career to focus on a second career in music. He maintained an interest in performing throughout high school, college and his professional football career and had intended to pursue a musical career after football. Utecht has recorded several albums including a Christmas album for which he was nominated for a 2012 Dove Award. He also went on tour in January 2012 and was featured on the cover of the March/April 2012 issue of Making MusicMagazine.

Utecht, who suffered five known concussions during his football career, was already experiencing memory loss by late 2011 when he was 30 years old.

Meet the scientists behind the WaveCel Helmet technology at Trek Bontrager:

Steven Madey, MD, born and raised in New York City went to medical school at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons. He has worked with Dr. Bottlang for 25 years creating life-saving and limb-sparing products in the orthopedic space. He has published over 50 peer-reviewed scientific paper and he is the president of Trauma Specialists at Legacy Emanuel Hospital in Portland, Oregon.

Tony White received his dual Undergraduate Degrees in Aerospace Engineering and Physics at Syracuse University.  He received his Master’s Degree in Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering at the University of California – Davis.  He worked for Aerojet-Rocketdyne as a structural analyst focusing on critical design work in shock and vibration of rocket engines.  During his time at Trek, he’s focused on learning the state of the art in academic research on head injury, developing new test methods and using that to create better helmets.

Michael Bottlang, Ph.D., was born and raised in southern Germany at the picturesque Lake of Konstanz. Michael obtained his BS degree in biomechanical engineering and started his research career at Germany’s most prestigious orthopedic research laboratory in Ulm. After obtaining a Ph.D. in biomechanical engineering at the University of Iowa in 1999, he founded the Legacy Biomechanics Laboratory in Portland, Oregon, together with his surgeon colleagues Drs. Madey and Fitzpatrick. Their research goal is the development of evidence-based strategies for treatment and prevention of traumatic injuries.

Since 2002, he has continuously received research funding from the US National Institute of Health and from the Department of Defense. He has published his research in over 70 peer-reviewed publications and numerous book chapters, and he has received 25 patents on inventions from his research.

Today, inventions of Dr. Bottlang and his team impact patient care around the world. Each year, their implants for chest wall repair are used in over 3,000 patients in over 40 countries. Their device for stabilization of pelvic fractures has become the standard of care for first responders in the US and Europe and has been adopted by the US Army. In common, all their inventions were borne by research, leading to highly effective, yet surprisingly simple and robust solutions.

Their most persistent research effort has been dedicated to preventing brain injury by developing the best possible helmet technology. As early as in 2002, they developed a state-of-the-art helmet impact simulator as a research platform to develop the best helmet possible. In 2011, their WAVECEL helmet invention became the first advanced helmet technology to be funded by the National Institute of Health. Since then, Dr. Bottlang’s team has focused on optimizing and integrating WAVECEL technology into bicycle helmets that are light-weight, durable, cool, and as safe as possible.
