I think NFL PR would not be too happy about this line:

"There are also cases of opioid overdose deaths where the brains show signs of early aging, including tau accumulation."

Opioids are not as big of an issue in the NFL as are concussions, but there have been some rumblings about its use by teams and the health consequences. This has also been brought up by former players advocating to use alternatives (such as medicinal marijuana).
