Dude had his demons for sure, it's nice that he was trying to help others. What an animal on the field. RIP young man.

I remember that first play from scrimmage in the 2013 NFCCG when he knocked the ball out of RW's hands. That was not fun. That dude was a beast. Should been an all-time great. RIP.

36 Can't imagine how young that is to go
he was RWs kryptonite
I still remember that game as his coming out party , it seemed he had russ figured out every rollout
Crazy and just have to wonder if it was cte or testosterone or the company he kept or drugs but no matter still , way way too young
RIP

Nothing has been officially released yet. We can speculate but I’m sure we’ll know soon enough

That is very sad news... but doesn't surprise me.

I have seen a few reports that it was cancer but nothing I would completely trust. One saying lung cancer and another saying it was soft tissue which migrated to his skull
