        Completely disagree. It's not a stretch to say CTE contributed to his mental health and behavior.

        It looks like there’s more evidence to suggest that CTE can lead to drug & alcohol abuse than the other way around.https://www.thefix.com/content/brain-injuries-athletes-linked-addiction7561 …

        Current research shows CTE can start in youth sports. Could have contributed to his life style prior to his time in the NFL.

        I mean do we not also think that his extreme and consistent use of drugs like angel dust and PCP had a major impact on the brain as well?

        It is being addressed by the NFL. A company called Schutt, Inc. has a new helmet in production. Also...u have a choice to play or not.

        Oh let's be real. The promises can start coming in HS & (to me) college age is still youth. The brain is still developing up to about 25
