Brown alleges, "I believe James Harrison gave me Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) due to his illegal helmet usage over two decades in the NFL. I was struck by him once, and ever since that day, I've exhibited an excessive level of aggression. Hence, I attribute my CTE to James Harrison."
It has become increasingly challenging to determine the veracity of Brown's statements as he appears to be uncertain about the authenticity of his own claims. The assertion that Harrison wore an unlawful helmet for a duration exceeding 20 years in the NFL is remarkable, especially given that Harrison had a 16-year career in the league.
