I can't say if his brain will definitely show signs of CTE but I know doctors will be scrambling over his brain. Most of the players that had their brains studied were playing rougher positions (mostly lineman and pit players). Doctors most likely look at Favre as a player who played a more laid back position for an extended period of time; they will probably love to see the affects football has done to one of the NFL's longest players.
ReplyDeleteBrett Farve played well into his 40's as did Junior Seau. Playing in the NFL for twenty years will eventually have consequences on your body, possibly your brain. I believe that it is very likely the Brett Farve may have evidence of CTE in his brain when he dies because of the numerous concussion he had; diagnosed or not.
