Zach sounds pretty well put-together compared to some former college football players I've had the chance to meet. He's very honest and articulate in dissecting his issues, which really makes his passing tragic. I wish I had his awareness when I was 26.
The SJMN article mentions a tick bite and Lyme disease, which is really quite unfortunate given that Lyme disease seems to be rare in Arizona (but Rocky Mountain spotted fever -- also transmitted by ticks -- is not). Then again, it doesn't say where Zach was when the tick bit him.
Zach references Shannon Turley...doesn't tell us anything new, but does reinforce a lot of prevailing opinion given our lack of knowledge about the situation.
He says that the Denver neurologist doesn't believe in CTE (doc works with the Broncos)...that might be a weird thing to say for a football doctor, though kind of on-brand for the NFL.
He had a lot more to give.
