If you use the CTE reasoning for why they die younger like some do, then you have to accept the notion that playing at any level with risk of concussions would decrease your life span.
So those who play in the NFL should live shorter than those who only played through college. And those who played in college should live shorter than those who only played through high school....
CTE doesn't just happen when there's a concussion with visible symptoms. Damage to the brain that leads to CTE happens during every impact to the head.
