NFL ex-players: 25% with brain disease

A study found that nearly 98% of deceased NFL players between 2016 and 2021 had brain disease related to repeated head impacts, primarily chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Researchers examined 878 former players, with 235 donating their brains, and identified CTE in 215 cases. The findings suggest a high prevalence of neurodegenerative disease among NFL players, with most head impacts occurring at collegiate, high school, and youth levels. The NFL has acknowledged the issue and is working to improve safety measures.
