I wouldn't rule out CTE. He's like a walking billboard for the current beliefs and (lack of) knowledge on CTE. Leaving a contact sport as a result of headaches incurred by multiple head traumas. Anxiety and depression to go along with anger issues earlier in his life. Memory loss (that he blames on weed and also credits weed with helping) and even sleep apnea now being associated with CTE or TBI. He's at the age that CTE patients are expected to start experiencing cognitive impairment, personality changes, lack of judgement, poor reasoning skills and early onset dementia which can manifest itself with symptoms that include paranoia.

Could even explain some of the videos here of him recognizing what he is saying is wrong but saying it anyways as impulsive control issues that CTE patients experience symptoms of.

I know he's often diagnosed others with CTE and does discuss brain trauma issues often, but has he ever acknowledged that he's also a prime candidate to experience CTE?
