In depth article into Larry Johnson
Very long, but very interesting. He believes he is living with CTE and struggles to not think about suicide.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/spo...=.1fbfbd72a552 “I could be Aaron Hernandez,” Johnson says, and indeed he sees the former Patriots star as a kindred spirit as much as a cautionary tale. |

Not sure about his rep in college and before, but he was a dick early in his NFL career. Can't blame everything on CTE.

As I become more aware of this kind of stuff, I wonder when (or if) I'll stop watching football because of it.

Thanks for posting that link, good read and I don't hate him anymore.
In fact, I feel bad for him. Herm did him no favors. |

I don't think that will. But injuries might. Two playoff teams losing a qb to an acl injury, one being a strong super bowl contender. Superstars leaving games for concussion protocol when you least expect it. Good sports watching is about watching the best players on the field. Lately, every game especially later in the season has become a game of roulette. No matter what, it's inexcusable that the NFL has done such a poor job figuring this out.

I would assume he wasn't a stranger to booze or other substances, too.

There's probably 6-10 years of football prior to the NFL. Professional athletes tend to have a higher testosterone to begin with, then throw in 1,000s of violent collisions over a lifetime.......it's not hard to see how someone could be a little "off", if you will.
