Please change title to "former NE RB".

(and I don't mean that in a joking way. I just mean that people will think that a current player has died)

RIP...Prayers to family

I agree with Gilmore.

Sad news, but change the title.

I'll never understand why some people refuse to wear seatbelts. GB him and his family.

I know when I was muscular like an NFL speed position player the strap used to dig into my neck, because my traps and neck were so much larger than a normal man. I don't know if he still had this level of muscularity.

Having a close friend recently die in a single car crash I don't get the humor in this. Or the reason to try to interject humor into this thread at all.

Very sad.

I remember his short stint with Green Bay...

I remember him - rugged runner. Fun player to watch. Sad news.

I wasn't trying to be funny it's the truth. I hated wearing the strap because I literally got rope burn while driving.

Just found out that he died (looking up stats to compare to TRich) and that the guy was a serial rapist. At the time of his accident (more likely suicide) he was facing 80 years in prison for a rape 4 months earlier.
