A study by Harvard researchers has found that NFL players are four times more likely to die of degenerative brain diseases than the population overall.  The study was published here:

Neurodegenerative mortality was nearly four times higher in NFL players compared to the general population and remained threefold higher after accounting for competing risks. Together, these findings strengthen the evidence for RHI exposure-related neurodegenerative mortality in NFL players that cannot be explained by differential survivorship.
