Cameron Elisara played DL at UW from 2006 to 2010 and was very close to UW's former all-time sack leader Daniel Te'o-Nesheim, who died in 2017 at age 30. Daniel was later diagnosed with CTE by researchers at the VA-BU-CLF Brain Bank. Ahead of my Race to End CTE run in Daniel's memory, I interviewed Cameron to better understand the special type of player and person Daniel was.
