Study: All but one of 111 brains of former NFL players diagnosed with CTE

It's undeniable that football is a dangerous sport where the risk of injury is high. But a study revealed by the New York Times on Tuesday is really eye-opening. Neuropathologist Dr. Ann McKee did a study of 202 brains, 111 of them from former NFL players, and all but one of them was diagnosed with CTE.

The times created a graphic to accompany the story which breaks down the types of brains.

The age range is wide: from 23 to 89 years old, and the position does not seem to matter at all either.
