LuvNola, Julian Edelman might want to take a good look at former Cowboys RB and NFL HOF Tony Dorsett current struggles with memory loss, occasional mood swings, forgetfulness(his wife and his children sometimes have to accompany him on trips to the supermarket, driving his cars, finding his car in large parking lots) Dorsett was asked in an CNN interview several years ago if he thought he had CTE, and he replied probably so. Dorsett was one of the most electrifying, multi-dimensional RBs of his era, basically Marshall Faulk of his time.
I know OJ Simpson has CTE, of course the inherent danger in him being diagnosed if that OJ can use CTE as his "devil made me do it" argument in explaining his violent temper tantrums, spousal abuse, drug use in the 1980s and early 90s and he'll probably convince some people that that affected his judgement in abusing Nicole Brown Simpson. Edelman if he's lucky might end up only having severe migraine headaches like Rodney Harrison has dealt with since he's retired, Dorsett's situation, as troubling as it is, pales in comparison to what Earl Campbell has gone through with not only his body broken down, but his mind, too.
