Former NFL player Kellen Winslow Jr’s lawyer is trying to use CTE as an excuse for his client to receive a lighter sentence for sexual assault.  He plead guilty to raping an unconscious teen and sexual battery involving a 54-year-old woman back in November.

The plea deal included an agreement to sentence him to between 12 and 18 years in prison.
