Very good college wideout. Really thought he would be a good pro. This guy was running a 4.8 40 3 years later. I don’t think he took the game as seriously.

The far too early death is, of course, very sad. And, while it’s not the post to elaborate, the fact that so many professional football players have this many children (in comparison with most in society) is also sad.

I wish there was a way for players & ex players to get help : health, finances, family.

Getting drafted so close to home didn’t do him any favors. Sad story, may he Rest In Peace.
