Snead’s post-football descent deepens questions about the dangers of a beloved American pastime.
But on the field, Jevan was all about football.
Over the next three years, Snead flourished. His photo appeared on the cover of the Aug. 17, 2009, issue of Sports Illustrated with the headline: “The Rebels have the firepower to shake up the BCS.” Copies bearing Snead’s autograph are still for sale on Amazon for $400. “We’ve seen CTE with boxers, football players and people who have had a history of recurrent head injuries, concussions or even subconcussions, where people may have hits to the head but no symptoms associated with it,” said Dr. John Bertelson, an Austin neurologist.
He entered the 2010 NFL draft but was passed by. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in April of that year but was released in July. After the team’s starting quarterback broke his finger, Jevan signed with the Buccaneers a second time, but he was cut again months later after the injured quarterback returned. In January 2011, he signed to play with the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena Football League, but he was released before the season after the coach who had recruited him was fired.
His listlessness was a perhaps understandable symptom of long-pursued dreams dashed. But Jevan’s friends and family noticed behavior that was more deeply troubling, an increasing level of forgetfulness uncharacteristic of a man in his early 30s. On Sept. 21, Jevan was supposed to pick up a friend from California at the airport in Austin. But when that friend and others, including Wilson, didn’t hear from him all day, they knew something was wrong.
