Am I the only one watching the Aiyuk meltdown who’s wondering about CTE?

I think it's not uncommon for wide receivers to have outsized egos and to act oddly. Terrell Owens. Ocho Cinco. Antonio Brown, ODBJr., Joe Horn, Randy Moss, George Pickens, Stefon Diggs. You could go all the way back to Peter Gent (author of
North Dallas Forty).
That doesn't even include the WRs who've been arrested like Michael Irvin, Jimmy Smith, Chris Henry, TItus Young, Justin Blackmon, Donte Stallworth, Sam Hurd, Plaxico Burress, Henry Ruggs, Rae Carruth, Zay Jones, MIchael Floyd, Josh Gordon, Dwayne Bowe, Kenny Britt, Rashee Rice, Jordan Addison, Xavier Worthy, Kadarius TOney, Alshon Jeffery, Ted Ginn Jr., Mark Duper, Andre RIson, Tyreek Hill, Brandon Marshall, Dez Bryant.
My read: Aiyuk may be acting irrationally from a career-management standpoint, but that is not evidence of CTE. Plenty of players make bizarre business decisions without brain disease. In his case, the cleaner explanation is: injured star receiver, massive contract dispute, damaged relationship with team, public ego battle, and maybe no adult in the room saying, “Brandon, for the love of Jerry Rice, put the phone down.”

Quote:Kyle Shanahan suffered significant injuries in a car crash during his summer break in mid-July that leave him limited as the team opens training camp.
Shanahan broke his nose, three ribs and his hand, needed more than 40 stitches in his face, and suffered a severe concussion during a July 14 car crash when he collided with an SUV near his northern California home, according to sources familiar with the situation.
...
Shanahan has been recovering at home and is believed to be healing well, but with training camp starting Sunday, doctors will not clear him for all activities until concussion symptoms clear.
...
"Assistant Head Coach Chris Foerster along with team coordinators will handle head coach responsibilities during this period."
