The world needs more father's like him. I'm happy for his family. No kid should ever have to go through that.

Good news..they had a gofundme started which i thought was odd? Didn't he do fairly well financially in his short time in football??

I mean, good for you and I, but I looked it up and he averaged less than $800k per year over his 8 years in the league according to Spotrac.

I would think that he'd have health insurance though through the union or something.
