Saw Siliga's tweet and I'm shocked. Lomu dead at age 40.

Lomu is the Earl Campbell of Rugby. A man that big should not run that fast and have such quick feet.

Here's some video:

 
So sad, Jonah Lomu was an internationally admired rugby player, the Gronk of his time, and one of my all time favorites. He was 6'5" and ran 100m in 10.2 secs, that's close to 11 yards a second. Sadly the only thing that could and did stop him was kidney disease which made him retire at 27, and eventually his untimely death. Fondly remembered.
 
One of the greats. Amazing player who will be remembered for what he did off the field as well.

Will never be another like him.
 
If you want to see what people mean by the Gronk analogy, look at what he did when he broke onto the scene. R.I.P.
