These NFL Players Tragically Died With CTE Brain Disease

I had the pleasure of meeting Mike Webster. He lived her in his final years, was always in the store I worked, said he loved our fried chicken! It was very sad when he passed!

Words cannot express how sad and tragic this is--all of these football greats paid dearly later in life

Sad part is the NFL denied the existence of this horrible sickness and did all they could to cover it up.rip to all those young men who left here because of it.

This is absolutely one of the most sobering videos I've ever seen.

My son had multiple concussions playing HS and college football. We are convinced he has CTE due to his dramatic change in behavior after college ended. He is currently incarcerated and not the same person he was before playing football.

Please include Jesse Bennet Perrin. He played with Bear Bryant for Alabama. He killed himself also and was diagnosed after death. It has been a big blow to our community. BB Perrin. RIP!! We miss you. ❤️

Imo, the best center that ever played. I know its late for this Mike, but you were my hero. Its late but RIP.

The NFL doesn't give a damn. If they did, they wouldn't extend the season to 17 games.

😥 I grew up watching junior Seau play football, love to watch him, when I heard he had taken his own life at such a young age, I wept.

These players sacrifice their bodies and end up with cte. They endure horrific headaches, hearing voices, violent outbursts. I had the honor and privilege of getting to know Earl morrall through my dad they were business partners. He was a very nice and cordial man that I miss.

RIP to these sport warriors

I was diagnosed with cte recently from all my concussions in hockey , even though they can’t fully diagnose it but my dr knows about cte all to well and truly believes I have it as do I, after my 6th concussion I developed seizures, horrible memory loss and brain fog, constant random headaches and ringing in my ears, I can’t remember what I’m saying mid conversation, my anger issues are getting really bad, becoming very bipolar and getting kinda physically violent against myself, on top of a bunch of other symptoms I also don’t have the money pro sports players have so I’m stuck trying to find a neurologist that takes Medicaid and even knows what cte is 🤦🏼‍♂️ the problem is much bigger than people think!

So many names of players that I never realized had this affliction. It makes you wonder how many professional wrestlers will end up with this, after taking hits to the head with metal folding chairs, among other things.

My goodness these poor men have all suffered for years. How awful. Thank you for a very inciteful video.

What a horribly sad disease especially since most of these gentleman died so very young because of a career you know they hoped and prayed to have! Their ends were tragic enough, but the time before must have been absolutely terrifying!! Just beyond imagination. Thank you Legacy for this much needed reminder and doing justice to their memories! ❤🌹

NFL player of the Atlanta Falcons during the 70's; Ray Easterling; died by suicide in 2012 @ the age of 68, I have no doubt he suffered from the same thing as all these other men.

I wondered if Vikings great Mick Tinglehoff would be on this list. He died at age 81 on 9/11/21. He played every single game of his 17-year career, 240 career starts with the Vikings. He is third on the list of consecutive games played, beaten only by fellow career Viking Jim Marshall and, the man who finished his career in Viking purple, Brett Farve. Tinglehoff suffered with severe memory loss and dementia for the last 15 years he lived. My guess is they haven't had time to officially diagnose his brain postmortem yet.

Excellent video and very thoughtfully done. Rest in Peace to all these sporting hero's. I never realised CTE was such a huge problem.

Rest peacefully to all we've lost. Great tribute. 🙏🕊️❤️ So sad we lost these wonderful sports figures. Glad they are constantly working on this disease so we can keep them around much longer. So many died so young. 💔

This is just sad how so many people have CTE and the NFL doesn’t try to find a cure for this mental health issue 🥺May this souls have peace and find the light of heaven ❤
