Former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez was found to have advanced CTE, according to the family's lawyer, following a Boston University study.
Lawyer Jose Baez said Thursday that the study revealed Stage-3 CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy), which is normally associated with a man his late 60s, out of a possible four stages.
The study indicated that Hernandez "had the most medically severe case of CTE" that BU had seen in a man his age.
