Also on CTE, Everson Griffen is a DE who played for the Vikings for years and was a leader at that position. He had a run in or 2 with the law, mainly off the back of some weird psychosis he was experiencing. He ended up getting traded and doing the team to team thing for a couple years. This year he came back to the vikings and all was going well.....until he posted some late night social media content of him alone in his house with his gun talking about how they are all coming to get him. Police standoff resulted and no issues came from it.
He has been MIA since with 'health reasons'.
Most definitely another CTE victim who i think will also have played his last NFL game this year. TBH, i don't expect him to be alive 10 years from now and wouldn't be surprised if he was found dead 5 years from now.
These things are occurring more and more in the NFL and its getting harder and harder to hide and/or cover up.
Despite all the knowledge and work done to limit the big hits in the game, after every play, players are still slapping themselves and eachother on the helmet and headbutting and all that stuff that they should be trying to cut out.....but no.
The CTE issue, which is huge, is still largely being ignored and its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.
