Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, better referred to CTE, is a brain injury that is now commonly found with athletes that play football.
Some common symptoms of CTE would include mood changes, headaches or dizziness, and memory problems. The injury has many players rethinking their football career.
Eugene Monroe is one of the recent players to retire due to the fear of developing CTE.
Furthermore, John Urschel of the Baltimore Ravens also chose to walk away from the game at the age of 26. His decision came two days after a study was released on CTE.
