My wife is watching me carefully for signs of CTE.... played D1 and professional football, rugby for 5 years, and hockey for most of my life in Canada. I can’t remember a football game that I didn’t have a searing headache afterwards. We were taught to lead with our head when we hit people back then.Countless times of getting my bell run. Three major concussions. Coach would make you sit down for 5 minutes shake it off and get back in there. My teaching associates haven’t noticed anything unusual yet and my behavior, but it does haunt you.

"played D1 and professional football, rugby for 5 years,"

Rugby is trying to reduce the number of head collisions. They come down hard on any tackle that makes head contact but I think that even tackles that don't make direct contact with the head can still cause damage. It is hard to prevent head movement in tackles or when you hit the ground.

If you are worried about incipient CTE. Then do your research. There are supplements you can take.
