Sad. I remember as a kid I loved watching him play. Didn't he absolutely crush someone on a run once? It was so bad the defensive player was carted off. Vs. the Niners maybe? I seem to recall him not being the same after that, but my memory could be playing tricks on me.

Anyway, he seemed to make some bad decisions off the field down the road. A good cautionary tale. Also, reading the article, another sad example of why you should always wear your seatbelt ...

One of the bright spots from the late 80's. Plus, he was pretty good in Tecmo Super Bowl. RIP.

You are referring to the hit on Jeff Fuller, 49ers safety. He suffered a spinal injury. Hes ok now though.
