It could be just depression. It's tough when you stop being a player. Being a star and not having any money issues. People underestimate that.
It's tough on people who played college ball but didn't make it to the NFL. I have a cousin who hasn't gotten over it in 30 years.
I used work with a former LB for my jags. That shyt burns when they have to get a job! Imagine playing in the 80s and 90s and only made maybe a few million...then you turn on the game and see scrubs getting a million per game! Some of those vets be hating like a mufukka. But I understand.
They always put it on cte but sometimes it's just plain old depression.
