I wish my brain felt like a 65 year old. That would be an improvement!

We don't, what about other factors such as drug use, mental illness, and fighting or being knocked out?
Also, why do some people get CTE while others who experienced the same amount of hits/contact do not get CTE?

Something else must have been going on. My thoughts is that maybe he had some early onset dementia. Hits to the head wouldn't have helped. It's just a little difficult to believe that football concussions alone would have caused that malady.
I'd just like to know how many 20 year old brains the doc dissected. Most dead people are in their post 50's, not in their 20's. If all you see is 65 year old brains... I'd imagine everything would look like a 65 year old brain. Something doesn't smell right in this story. And I believe CTE is a real problem.

I wonder if that % goes down later. Back in the days players had less safety protection and less mental protection from the league (concussion protocol)

Hopefully
Problem is players are faster and stronger than before.
