Boston College senior linebacker Mark Herzlich disclosed today that he has been diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a malignant tumor most often found in bone or soft tissue.

Sad news... I wish him well....

Wow. I just hope they caught it early.

I hope he can use his football toughness and approach to beat it.

For sure, that's sad news. This guy is a truly terrific LB. I had hoped to see him playing in Foxboro one day. Still hoping.

Let's not count him out just yet. After all, I don't think all that many people expected Bruschi to be playing less than a year after his stroke. . . .

Needless to say, though, the primary concern at the moment is not his NCAA or NFL career.

Not a BC fan by any stretch but this is horrible. I wish him the best. Such a tough young man, I am sure he will do all anyone can do to beat it.

My condolences go to his family. Anyone diagnosed with any time of cancer is always saddening.

This kid is no random kid. He was supposed to be a first round pick. Look up somewhere on the play that he HURTLED a player and sacked the QB.

I hope that he recovers and returns to the game he loves.

Awful news. Love(d) watching this kid play. Hopefully he beats it.

Now, if you're him, do you take a chance and declare for the supplemental draft? Not sure what his medical care package is like at BC and how much they contribute to his therapy, but I'd think it would be tough to beat having a NFL franchise's team doctors and money working with you.

Certainly at least one team would use a supplemental pick on the kid. Something I'm sure he and his family are thinking about ...
