Former NFL Super Bowl Champion Jordan Devey Dies by Suicide at 38; Family Suspects CTE
Former NFL offensive lineman Jordan Devey, a Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots, has died by suicide at age 38, his family announced on social media. The death occurred shortly before his 15th wedding anniversary. In an interview with Fox 13, Devey's parents expressed the suspicion that he suffered from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head impacts common in football. Devey played seven NFL seasons (2013-2020) for five teams, including the Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, and Buffalo Bills, appearing in 44 games. He won Super Bowl XLIX with the Patriots but did not play in the final. CTE is incurable and often diagnosed only post-mortem, with symptoms including memory problems, depression, anger outbursts, and motor decline. The case echoes broader concerns about brain trauma in contact sports.
